1. WTF?
For example, earlier this school year, the school held a Christian worship rally during an assembly. A minister gave a sermon to students. A Christian rapper named B-SHOC performed a number of religious songs, and students were asked to fill out a form saying that they had accepted Jesus. Though the school has defended the assembly by saying it was voluntary, students were told that if they did not attend, they would have to spend the afternoon in the in-school suspension room.

So it's "voluntary" yet anybody who doesn't "volunteer" is essentially punished?

I wish him luck with his lawsuit but it's Virginia so he's got about as much of a chance as a gay person--essentially zero. His better option is to move.
