Daughter objects to prayers at school

So got the reply...

Dear Mr *****

Thank you for your email. It is absolutely fine for ***** to be excused from prayer and worship style songs.  The concert we are doing does have a two songs that mention God, and one is a prayer. The concert is based on our RE curriculum and citizenship as was mentioned in the letter that came home last week. Please do not hesitate to let us know if there are any other events you do not wish ***** to take part in.

Not much else she could do really I suppose. I notice that she capitalised god though!

Not sure I like the 'please let us know' bit. Like I'm just picking stuff out for a laugh that I don't want my kids doing, almost wrote back to say "No, everything else is fine as long as you don't include any fucking gods in it"
