Possibly the author was just fishing to find something - anything - that was critical of Dawkins, to give a sense being balanced, unbiased, and not a brown-noser to the big atheist. Even if that meant DECIDING what Dawkins believed, rather than actually looking.
Still. Not only does Dawkins (and I) find it acceptable to teach kids about all religions in school, he (and I) thinks it SHOULD be taught. Few things would help us more than making kids realize that it's just an accident of birth that they happen to believe in a jewish zombie instead of a sacred cow.
