| 192. Are you aware that civil rights are not absolute? |

Classic example is that free speech does not guarantee me the right to scream "FIRE!" in a dark crowded theater if there is no fire. These children's right to practice religion DURING the school day could arguably be said to be an infringement of the nonparticipants right to receive an education, due to the fact that class has been suspended.
As I mentioned in a later thread there are more than 3,500 waking hours per year in which the typical elementary school student is not in the public school classroom. That leaves plenty of time for Bible classes.
