Yup. And they are expected to stop what they are doing immediately. Remove any head cover aside from religious articles and stand at attention. It's fucking insane. Public school.

Aging myself here - But we used to sing the anthem every morning at school. And when I was in catholic school (montreal in the 80s only had catholic or protestant schools, no secular board existed in public schooling) that was followed by the lord's prayer.

I hate both now.
