This ban is the result of a failure to teach people how to cope with people having different beliefs. Its a total failure of tolerance. First religion, next culture, next identity. How can you teach kids diversity by pretending we are all the same? This is ridiculous. NEWS FLASH! People's religion can be the most important thing in their lives! To deny them of that right is to deny them of the most important piece of their identity. Not everyone is secular, and not everyone is a zealot either. This ban sacrifices understanding for simplicity. Why not ban religion entirely?
Tolerance forfeits the game. We give in. Everyone hand in your differences because we just can't get along.
