This is very worrisome:

While Frence President Jacques Chirac has called for a ban on
religious symbols in public schools, the conservative administration
of Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar in Spain, who favors a mention
of Christianity in a future European constitution, has passed a
law to strengthen the presence of the Roman Catholic Church in the
Spanish schools. National teachers unions, parents associations
and opposition political parties have reacted with outrage.

Under the law, all students must take a class each year on Roman
Catholic dogma, taught by church appointees and intended for
practicing Catholics, or an alternative, secular class on world
religions that education officials say offers a historical approach
but that opposition party leaders contend is similar to the
Catholicism class. The religion grades count toward final averages,
which determine promotions and eligibility for competitive
university programs.

The curriculum in the Catholicism class includes the church's
position on divorce, sex and abortion, as well as basic theology.

Until now, an optional course on Roman Catholicism was offered
during school hours but was not graded.
