"If there was a Gay/Strait Alliance meeting off campus during school hours and the majority of the class asked to be excused, would anyone here be complaining if the school allowed them to leave class?"

Yes, I would complain if that educational instruction were cut to accommodate these meetings. Yes, I would object if my child's school lost NCLB funding because kids did less well on tests due to a shortened instructional day.

Guess we'll just have to disagree on this. BTW, if you like religion taught in school, you should consider a private school. I attended one for eight years as a child. There were pros and cons, but one thing I can honestly say, is that the kids with whom I attended Catholic school got into just as much trouble as the kids who attended the public school system.
