When a rupture occurs between a nation’s vision and the founding/forming religion, there’s a void that needs filling, and canny political leaders know it. It was “about” religion, but designed in a multiculturalist dream palace by ideologues with no interest in lived religion’s dynamics. Religious parents and parochial schools rightly saw ECR’s theme-park approach as a threat to children’s confidence in their received religious teaching. She concluded that ECR was not designed to educate children, but to “indoctrinate” them in moral and cultural relativism. In one case, students were invited to redesign the Quebec flag, replacing the cross with a more “inclusive” symbol.
