Nope. Happened here. Something like it. My son was supposed to use a muslim prayer rug and recite some prayer.
He said oh hell no, and got sent to the principle, who called me...
I said, "Let him sit there. I'll be down in a minute."
hoo boy, was I mad. That principle just about lost his mud when I reached across his desk to drag him up close, eye-to-eye, to make certain he knew my position on the whole thing... Polkin him in his chest to make each point.
And I did it in front of my kid. Then I pulled him out of class for the day, and bought him the biggest bowl of ice cream he could think of. He done right.
And thereafter, when the other three kids said oh hell no, I didn't have to but call on the phone.
Same dang thing with Native American Religion, which was also supposed to be acted out.
