 The tension that is broached by a child’s right to an open future is given a clear and provocative reading in Matthew Clayton’s book (Clayton 2006). He argues that parents may not ‘enroll their children into comprehensive doctrines’, in other words bring them up to believe in general truths about the best way to lead a life, whatever the provenance of those truths. Thus his view is broader than a critique of a religious education. But at the same time it would indict the vast majority of conscientious parents seeking to bring up their children as they see best.
