Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, what that means is that religious classes could not be held during the school program. If the local community feels that a religious program should be offered after school hours, for instance, that is still possible. It does not prohibit teachers, during a course of study, teaching about various religions, but it does prohibit the teaching of a specific religion during school hours. Yes, Mr. Speaker.
