Good. Keep religion out of schools. Unless it is comparative study of them.

That's fine by all means

so Halal food in the school tuckshops/canteens goes as well .... right?

Why? Should vegetarian food go? Gluten free?

I believe the US is close to if not above 70% Christian and in Australia its about 60%

Most of Australia doesn't care about religion, even among those who claim to belong to a religion.

Well, you've clearly never opened a Bible.

This is the Muslim iceberg that Muslim President Obama has created. It is division by stealth. The next 8 months won't come quick enough to see that ahole exit the White Office. A lot can happen in 8 months and I am keeping my fingers crossed that this ahole doesn't invoke his executive powers and bring the Fema Camps online, which he has been planning ever since he took office.

His reign has been chaotic, unleader like and just plain dangerous.

That the nativity scene is a "recreation of the birth of Christ" Read your Bible and see for yourself how almost every detail in inaccurate when compared to your standard nativity scene.

Are 'vegetarianism' and 'gluten intolerance' religions?

But Mothra, religion is in state schools. Why can't they have a nativity scene then?

But it is. Muslims have a bunch of religious events that clash with work and school.

Exemptions to be culturally inclusive do not "clash" with work or school. They are very easy to work around.

Muslims fast before EID. They have days off because they are so damned weak. Imagine how lack of proper food must affect their learning. That must clash.
