Best to keep all religious activities out of school no matter what.

I don't think it is fair to compare us with India. Has India been a wealthy country for long? I don't believe so. Well, when you are hungry, do you care what food you eat? IOW, are you going to be picky and say "I won't eat (insert ethnic group) food? Probably not. As long as it feeds you, you eat it. When you are wealthy, you are more picky because you can. What has this to do with anything? Give India 50 years more of prosperity and watch what happens. They will get more and more PC and try avoiding stepping on other's toes. You are familiar with the story of the old man, the boy and the donkey, right?
Or any public institution, period. No ands, buts or ifs. Religion belongs in the home or the private sector not in public where it is sponsored by govt.
