Is tolerance intolerant?

Not the point.

You are trying to create a double standard that is not there with AC/DC. The opposite is true. If a Muslim or Buddhist or Hindu want to display something religious in a public school Christians flip out. 

I don't see the point of treating any public school as an indoctrination center. If you want to live under a government that is run on religion where it's public schools mix the two, Saudi Arabia and Iran do that quite well. Schools are not Mosques, Synagogues, Churches or Buddhist or Hindu Temples. There are over 360,000 houses of worship in America of all sects and all religions outside public schools. There is no need to treat a public school as a holy place.

But, if Christians insist, then they cannot bitch, nor have the right to bitch if others do the same. I take the position that it is better for all involved to leave religion at the public school door, and have children and family do that on their own time.

That is my point, as evidenced by the banter. I wasn't loading a question. Lets take religion out of it entirely, it'll be less galvanizing.

Why do non-smokers feel the need to dictate where smokers can and should smoke, or that business are not allowed to having smoking sections? If it doesn't affect you why should you care? It actually defeats the purpose because now smokers just stand by the front door and smoke making sure everyone gets their second-hand smoke. There is a plethora of other options for you to go to, simply choose to go somewhere else if you don't like it.

Seriously? I, the poisoned should have to go to wherever the poisoner does not poison the air? Terrible analogy.

To get more to the point of our opening post:

Religious expression in US schools by students IS allowed. In fact, it is guaranteed under our constitution. Allowing the public entity itself (the school) to spew religion is another story. For starters, which religion? Imagine the reaction of Christian parents if their children were exposed to Muslim thought. Or Hindu or Wicca or Jainism. THAT is why public institutions in the US are not allowed to weigh in on religion.

Individuals are allowed and guaranteed freedom of religion. That requires that the government must stay the hell out of it.
