Say it ain't so, ACLU Joe!

Hmmm.  Can the return of Wednesday school (release time - every wednesday
morning) of my youth be far behind?  I'm curious as to why release time would
be required as opposed to simply making space available.

What about release time every Friday for Muslim students - their holy day?
What about release time at noon - no matter what - to get the midday prayer in
at the right time (many schools built tiny cafeterias that hold only a fraction
of the student body and so have staggered lunch periods starting as early as
10:30 am.)?

"Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore, we are saved by
hope.  Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate
context of history; therefore, we are saved by faith.  Nothing we do, however
virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love."
