Position about the existence of extracurricular groups in public schools that

involve, one way or another, religious ideas.

From my point of view, extracurricular groups are significant in the development of

a child. However, when these groups begin to talk about religious ideas but not in a
way to let them know but by imposing a religion on them, that’s when I don’t agree
with these groups because religious ideas are sometimes radical and can modify
tastes, thoughts and knowledge and when we are children we don’t have the
capacity to know if those ideas can be good or bad. From my experience, imposing
religious ideas on children isn’t the best option simply because they aren’t mature
enough to decide or think critically about these ideas. These generate prejudices,
fears, limits and often selfishness. I think it’s important that they know and study
them so that they have the possibility of choosing the one that most attracts their
attention in the future.
