text: Quite right, Richard Roskell
  
   Few people seem to make the connection that, for more than a century, all classes are cancelled on the Christian Sabbath in public schools and everyone is excused school so they can stay home to honour the dictates of that particular tradition.
  
  Imagine the howl were Muslims to abbreviate their attendance at school every day in order to attend prayer with their faith communities, and then demand that schools provide instruction on Sunday for them to make up for that.
  
  What they ask is such a small thing. It would take almost nothing for every non-Muslim to provide it gladly and generously.
  
  And 60% of reactions will disagree with my post unless, of course, it is rated uncivil.
