WTF, I don't understand your consternation at parents teaching their children what they believe is good for them.

I know of several couples who "teach" their children about the world around them, consequences of actions, etc. Religion enters into it only as an anthropological concept: "Some people believe..." Some would say such "godless" teaching is bad and provides no moral or ethical foundation, but I disagree. I can think of a lot of things that "have been going on since the beginning of time;" that's a sorry basis for keeping them going.
Several couples? Out of how many Billion people? C'mon, parents have always done this....parents have a duty to pass knowledge to their kids. Just because you don't agree with their views doesn't make it wrong for them to teach their kids what they believe to be right. Saying that's a sorry basis for keeping them going, assumes they are wrong in what they are doing, but they don't believe they are.If they did they probably wouldn't be doing it, would they?

The only thing that film shows is parents are modern, savy, keeping up with progress, with todays trends.....outsourcing.
