Dear Jeff:

 

This situation with the cancelled school prayer in Taber is ridiculous. If that one student & parent don't want their child reciting the prayer, then let the child be placed in another room with a supervisor or stay in the classroom they are assigned. This assault on Christianity is ludicrous. We accommodate people of the Islamic faith with II hours of time off IV prayers (including students), as well as those folks at work. This parent is apparently Christian, so why is she so vociferous against saying a Christian prayer? Her child could put a set of headphones on so he wouldn't have to recite the prayer but instead listen to music.

 

Because One Person Is Offended EveryI Else Has II Suffer,

 

Rory
