Question for CLE math users Re: Mennonite "bend"

We are not Mennonite, but we are Christians. As I'm looking into the CLE math, I'm wondering...does it matter that the word problems, etc. make more sense to a child living in a Mennonite type commuinity? I know the math processes are still applicable in different real life situations, but I'm just curious what others have thought about this.

 

Thanks!

I disliked that one of the Mennonite readers had a vague scene that made clear the kid got spanked/paddled/? something in the barn. I didn't care for the weird coupling of a supposedly non violent religion with regular spanking. I am not Mennonite, nor am I deeply invested in non violence as the ultimate political solution, but it irritated me. Also the vague way it was phrased creeped me out. But that was not a math book.
