re: Texas AG sued to keep a Bible quote in school. Now he’s troubled by Muslim prayers.

quote:

---

But they allow 10 to go privately?

I don't know what they do. But 90 students 3 or 4 times a class size. 10 could meet in a conference room by the office and they, 90 would need a gym or auditorium, etc.

Well, certainly if you allow Muslims to meet and pray, then you should allow Christians, right?

---

They aren't "meeting." They are praying individually; they don't have to be anywhere near one another.

And in the case of the 90 Christians....the students were not exposed to that practice, either. Soooooo...what was your point?

---

My point was that the school obviously took issue after it had reached a certain size. Religion aside, 90 high schoolers in one place at one time, would require school signicantly more school resources (supervision, space), that I could see a school having concerns ABOUT any meeting that size for any reason.

I don't care one way is the other, but I could see the school deciding it was too big. Either way, I don't see why you have a problem with the Muslims praying, since you've provided no evidence that a Christian wouldn't be afforded the same reasonable accommodation at that school.

You had to pull any example of a different school, in a different state, banning a 90 group meeting (which was later allowed). They are neither the same substantively, nor are they the same school to make a precise comparison.

And besides, the school eventually allowed it, so then the story is even less relevant. So then you should be supportive of both schools allowing their practices.
