I can attest that this class does study world religions and we have to sign off on it when we get the course syllabus at the beginning of the year.

I don't think they do the field trips, but, if they do and some yahoo tries to do this, he'll have to deal with me - and that won't be pretty. They either go to all house of worship available (some smaller cities might not have mosques or temples) or they don't go to ANY.
