You'll suddenly feel like a hypocrite when people will be "genuinely" trying their very best to seem open-minded, so as not to be inconspicuously dirtied by a heathen like yourself. In other words, if you'll seem to resemble anything at all like a threat to their precious faith, they'll put on this fake smile and nod their heads in an orderly fashion, beyond which point there will be nothing you can do - they will be zoning out, breaking long-pig with the man himself in a cloud nine setting.
At least that's my exp.
I think your prophecy will be confirmed. My guess is that nobody at the school is likely to engage with me on the subject. I will update next week though.
I'm still a bit miffed that the head of school thinks it's ok to introduce this type of thing into their education programme. While I'm incredibly pleased that my daughter had the presence of mind, without any prompting from her parents, to step up and be prepared to potentially be singled out for her stand I am still angered that most of her classmates will just be going through these prayers (to an unnamed god as far as I know) because they are scared to say otherwise.
It's bullshit but the Tubbys are starting a mini revolution round here!
