#1 Allowing students to miss that much class time, the report added, could compel the school system to deny them credit for the classes concerned. Public school is no place for religious teachings. If you want your children to have a religious education then send them to a religious school. Giving one group preferential treatment is extremely unfair. If you give one group credit for a class they miss 40 minutes of then you have to give everyone credit. Fail them.

#2 Why do I get the impression this is only being extended to Muslims? I just can't imaging a school allowing students to leave early to attend a christian service. The ACLU would have a field day.

Nor can I imagine a school allowing a mass on campus. But this seems to be allowing muslims to have sermons (in arabic I presume) and prayer meetings.

And what about allowing hate speech on campus?

#3 Why does every minority think they should have special priveleges?

#4 Cool - does this mean Catholic kids can get their Catholic Holidays off - or else get a mass offered at the School on School Time?

#7 Us Native American Churchers required every Friday and Monday off to deal with the ~~DeeTees~~ Thetans we'd get from the public school gelatin salad of death.
