"If the tone had been set that religion was a private affair, engaged in on your own time and dime, back in prior decades, this would already be solved."

Oh I get it! By prohibiting the expression of ones fundamental rights in public spaces, you believe we'll all get along.

I take a different view. The fundamental rights of conscience, religion, thought, belief and expression are at their best when shared. Those are the things that make us human. Those are the things that elevated humanity to where it is today. 

Canadian schools should nurture within our children the fundamental freedoms that our country stands for. That may not sit well with everyone, but it's obviously the only way forward.
