| Message | Mr Speaker, To clarify, it is the no regulation that we are opposed to. We must be very careful to ensure religious freedom, but at the same time we can not have students in a school that won't teach math, science, or literature. We believe that the law is it is now merely ensures that these are taught, and are not intended to trample upon the right to teach faith. I yield. |
