Vote no on this bill. Let me get this straight you want to punish children who are chronically absent from school by making them take a rigligous course? That is ridiculous. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Why is this even being proposed? I would rather the child make up whatever work they missed. Maybe that way the will actually learn something useful. Quit shoving your religion down our throats. This is not the way. Do better!
