In short, I think it's dumb, too, but that's their business.
I agree with you completely. I just can't understand why the school doesn't get that this is a last name. It wasn't something that was hand-picked by the parents just to piss off or offend Christians. What if this guy had a child and wanted to send him or her to that school?

This would be like an American school or business banning someone with a last name like Hitchcock because it has "cock" in it, which may be offensive to some.
