This is my point. These other religions aren't being suppressed. Schools are endorsing "tolerance" of other faiths while suppressing "christianity" which contains doctrine against homosexuality.
| That's not entirely true. We had to read the Bible for a summer assignment in Honors English here in California in a public school. There's nothing wrong with that because you must know biblical allusions to understand literature.

For example, in New York City Schools during Christmas, they refused to allow displays of Christian Nativity scenes but they allowed displays of the Jewish menorah and the Islamic star and crescent with an excuse of "promoting diversity and multiculturalism." Yeah, ok!
| I don't agree with that, and I don't think most people would; you should either have no symbols of religion or have truly every religion shown "for diversity". There's cases such as that that are unfair to Christianity, but there's also cases where the same thing happens to other religions. Christianity takes unfair precedence many times in this country also.
