Dear Gypsy,
I have heard the same kinds of stories from guys who attended Islamic schools in Saudi Arabia. I am not sure if it was throughout the education system, or if they went to special schools. I know that all State schools in Saudi Arabia teach religion. It also used to be true that you could receive corporal punishment in secular schools in the states. I made sure when my child started school that no such thing would happen to her, just in case it was still going on.
Regards,
