Interestingly it appears that Jehovah's Witnesses reserve the right to be
totally exempt from classes teaching about other religions. A more
knowledgeable person may correct me here. This information is form my wife
who is a teacher.
I would have thought that all kids would benefit from learning about "the
opposition" but there you go!

They certainly aren't doing that. (They go on to ask about religion, and
attending, or not, RE lessons and morning assemblies. At least there's some
cause and effect at work there; although I disapprove of the notion that any
religion should involve a ban on learning about other religions).
