More religious liberty in Ohio

Exactly.  Why should they get a worse grade?

If the question is 'What is the capital of the UK?', the correct answer is 'London'.  Full marks.

If the question is 'What is the capital of the UK?', the correct answer is 'London, praise Jesus.'  Still full marks.

How does adding 'praise Jesus' make the answer any less correct?  If the answer isn't any less correct, why should they get a lower grade?

No offense but it seems like you're thinking only in black and white. Let me put forward a couple of hypothetical's as examples. 

Speech class where the student is to demonstrate different types of speeches (motivational, impromptu, ......) The teacher assigns a directional where the student is to describe the steps to complete a task (i.w. bake a cake). The religious student gives a speech about how to pray. 

Art class where the students are learning to draw human models/forms. The assignment is to draw someone in the family. The student returns with a drawing of jesus stating that they consider jesus part of the family.

Sounds like in these examples they should get a worse grade, but it also sounds like a case that could be challenged.

No offense taken.

But the bill states that they can't get a worse grade because of religious content.  I don't see how these hypotheticals would be an issue.  If the student describes how to pray, as long as it follows what is being taught in the course, so what? As for the Jesus-drawing, as long as it conforms to things like line and perspective, ok.

WHY should a student who draws Jesus as part of a drawing class (or a student who declaims on how to pray for a speech class) be given a worse grade based on their choice of subject?
