In a ruling marked "Not for Publication," a U.S. court ruled that an Islamic sugar-coated indoctrination program where school children had to "become a Muslim" for a number of weeks to "get a good grade" was not "overt religious exercises" that violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
"What (school officials) are doing … is to give Muslim students religious benefits that they do not give any other religion right now." -- Richard Thompson, public interest lawyer.
