I somehow don't get the impression that RE classes devote much time to the viewpoint that it's irrational bullshit. Brits, correct me if I'm wrong.
My kids had a religions education course in high school. It covered many different faiths, including Hare Krishna, and involved going to places of worship and talking with adherents there. For the Christianity section they received a talk from some pastor who mostly went on about how gays are all sinful and will go to Hell. I'm not sure if the instructor was trying to make some sort of point there.
