The huge deal is that our country has a secular government and any one religion should not dominate any other even if it has a majority. Not only that but it would be incredibly healthy for students to receive many points of view about religion and expose them to different ideas. Quote:

But even they let their students opt out of religious events. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
