re: #638 Naso Tang
I think I said this before, If one can’t “assimilate” without special concessions being granted, go to a religious school.
Do you seriously think one concession doesn’t lead to asking for another one? This is not a matter of Sharia law crap, it is just a matter of doing what everyone else has done until you chose to live in this society.

I agree, the same argument has been made about teaching Spanish in Public Schools (ESL).
I don’t know what the answer is. I do know that in schools that are overwhelmingly one ethincity or another, there should probably be concessions made IF THEY help the children and are considered temporary —for the current generation.
