The public schools don't exist to serve your religious values, needs or
phobias. There's a simple solution for you. Enroll your children
(Light help them) in religious schools and stop trying to make the
public schools serve your particular religious "needs". I am highly
critical of public schools but even *I* have to admit they have enough
problems without yet having to cater to religious wackos like you.
