It's scary that they could force themselves into any school - and that the school has no choice but to put up with them. I wonder if we'll actually have to start creating more (very expensive) private schools for the purpose of AVOIDING religious indoctrination. How many future voters are bullied, coerced, or bribed into joining this club? How many parents know about, or care about what's going on? The religious right wing now has even more power, even more access to young minds.

I am not opposed to religious education itself, I would have no objections to several religious classes or clubs being available in public schools, so long as they are not mandatory. This is rather one-sided though, I can't see other groups forming up, for the same reasons you pointed out.

How do we stop this club? Or at least slow it down? Can we?
