Only In Rightist America

. . . is elementary school recess made out to be a form of religious persecution.

In claiming that students should apparently be allowed to do whatever they please during recess time, a guy says:

"I think we understand that the school does not have a monopoly over children. They're not robots," he said.
Does the school treat students as "robots" by having them sit at desks? Or by imposing a class schedule? What about that whole classroom standards thing? Sounds pretty robotic to me.

An elementary school isn't out of bounds in developing a program which encourages physical activity. Especially given the child obesity problem we have today.

I wasn't able to glean from your post your position on whether or not students should be allowed to read the Bible during recess. What's your opinion on that subject?
