The instructional program of the schools should provide for alerting and informing
students concerning the varied beliefs and customs stemming from their religious, racial,
ethnic and cultural heritages. Such instruction should be designed to broaden the
students’ understanding of and tolerance for the multiple ways of life enjoyed by the
population of the world.
Any instruction in the schools which may be contrary to a student’s religious
beliefs and teachings shall be viewed as optional for the student following receipt of a
parent note to the principal.
