Prohibiting students from exercising their religious freedom.

What if your religion mandated killing everyone in the class? Your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins, and all. If you're disrupting the class, then they can stop you.

That said, whispering in such a tone that no-one can hear you doesn't really disrupt the class anyway.

It's not prohibiting silly.

It's prohibiting someone from practicing their religion if they can not pray at their specified times.

You don't have specified times.

Then pray sometime before or after school. You can assign your three times to be outside of school hours.

The tax part is unconstitutional, but the fact that it is "unethical" has no relevence. Ethics can mean anything from advocating genocide to peace. It only exists as a perception, not a truth.

Not according to your source.

Supposedly. Even if they did, you cannot show that they did it at 0900, 1200, and 1500.

Considering most of them were horrible people by today's standards, I'd definitely say that is not true.

Those are the times you chose, they are not specified in your religion's rules.

Suppose it WAS once daily, the source goes on to say that you should pray when you eat. Should I remove myself from the classroom everytime before I eat?

If you don't even actually pray at that time according to Dyakovo, then you really have no argument.

Are you implying that praying need be done at those times or that you do them at those times ?

Of course?

An amazing display that can only be applauded. Homosexuals around non-homosexuals only leads to more homosexuals and causes psychological problems (ie gender dystrophy)

Then you do believe in morality. If you didn't you wouldn't have views about anything. You should also understand that pretending that indoctrinating children into a faith and calling it educational is illogical, even if you fail to admit it is unethical.

The tax part is unconstitutional, but the fact that it is "unethical" has no relevence. Ethics can mean anything from advocating genocide to peace. It only exists as a perception, not a truth.

No, ethics describes activities that promote sentient wellbeing. There are objective truths to what does and doesn't do this.

Sexual orientation isn't a disease that you catch, but something you are born with.
