Think about this....**please**.

You think it is OK to have to **PROVE** to the government your religion? Huh?

Where is that in the First Amendment?

Fundamentally, a religiously neutral education is impossible. There is no such thing a s religiously neutral government education! For this reason we must move toward privatizing all education in the nation. Let these matter be resolved privately between the parents and the principal of a private school.

That’s not how the first amendment works.

I see your point and acknowledge that there is a first amendment issue.

But we are working with world as it is not the world as we wish it to be.

Government schools exist and are not likely to go away soon. I doubt the USSC will anytime soon take up the issue of Government schools being incompatible with the 1st Amendment

So I think we will just have to find some way of making a compromise with religious freedom and school dress codes.
