Why Do Jewish Schools Have to Teach Islam?

Faith schools in Britain just got a little more faithful – as in one more faith per school. In an effort to promote religious tolerance and offset extremism, the British government has mandated that faith schools (state-funded schools teaching a combined general and religious curriculum) be required to teach two faiths as part of their syllabus.

Education Secretary Nicky Morgan’s wish for religious studies students to gain “different perspectives” on faith has become a reality. But what Morgan’s initiative will actually accomplish remains to be seen.
