Growing up in todays world if we don’t have the proper teachings of these other religions besides our owns there will be no change in this world and people will go on hating eachother based on Religious stereotypes. If teachers are prepped the right way before teachings students as she mentions and that I have experienced first hand then much is to be gained in the minds of young students entering the world.
