| Message | We just recently passed a bill saying that teacher-lead prayers in schools were forbidden, except in religious schools. We strongly oppose this measure that will cause students to be at the mercy of fanatical teachers' religious convictions. |

| Message | "students to be at the mercy of fanatical teachers' religious convictions" You seem to mistaken a prayer with a rape or armed assault. This is not the case it only allows for example Christian students to pray with their teacher if they want to. |

| Message | And what happened to the others? They just stay quiet, ashamed, and feeling odd for not being "Christian". |
