" A curriculum of religious instruction should include a study of the tenets of faiths other than one's own. For this purpose the students should be trained to cultivate the habit of understanding and appreciating the doctrines of various great religions of the world in a spirit of reverence and broad minded tolerance."
I myself remember going to Sunday school right after mass when I was young. I was the child always asking "WHY". I think in a lot of religions they expect you to just accept what you are being taught is right. I grew up in Brooklyn so I was around diversity everyday. My schoolmates were of those of many religions and ethnicity, and I was always wondering to myself how come they do that or how come they practice that? Thankfully, I was able to get those answers from my parents friends about their practices. I agree with the statement being made that if you are being taught one particular religion you should be taught about different one's also.
Teaching children about diversity early in life will create a tolerable society in the future. Just like learning about different cultures early on in childhood will prevent ignorance and stereotypes towards the cultures later in life. I believe people are afraid of what they do not know, so if they are educated early on, either in schools or in their religious studies this will help in our society to begin to change wear there can be religious tolerance for every religion.
