This is part of the constant attempt by a certain segment of society to
institutionalize its religion (i.e. inflict it upon everyone as the
state-sanctioned theology). The prevalent religion at my son's school is
Buddhism - the same law that prevents Christians from forcing their religion
down everyone's throats prevents the eight-fold path from being driven down my

enforcement of a wise law.
Understanding religion and it's place in world history is something else.
