Schools must first train the children
in the principles of religion, so that the Promise and the Threat recorded in
the Books of God may prevent them from the things forbidden and adorn them with
the mantle of the commandments; but this in such a measure that it may not injure
the children by resulting in ignorant fanaticism and bigotry.
(Baha'u'llah,
Tablets of Baha'u'llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas)
