Dear me...

See.. we Know that there is No Limit to the "profit percentage" an unfettered biznessman lusts after: none - More is always Better. Monopoly IS His Grail. We know this cold.

Realizing this factoid about homo-sap's still-infantile mentation - we "instituted laws" to regulate the Greed-coefficient consistent to.. (at least) averting marauding bands of Armani-suited predators.. entrepreneurs.. just.. Everywhere throughout the land.
(Obv these laws don't work very well, especially of late - but Law was all we thought we had. Then. And Christian-Morality-applied: led to more bizness preying than praying. And crocodile tears when caught.)

Similarly - we Know that those Possessed of a Belief - know no surcease from attempting to inflict same until Perfect One-Truth Homogeneity is achieved Worldwide. We Know That.

Ditto for admins, teachers etc - who are presumed mainly to be homo-sap in genetic origin. Too. And no, Beep; stop drooling over 'Guvmint Ogres' - your pants are all wet.

The Government is/was us: when it is/was properly inspected, staffed and overseen by responsible Citizens of a Free Republic. OK that's changed recently too, but the idea remains within that Constitution thing everybody wants Allegiance paid-to [Talk about.. things worth conservative-ing..]

ie With the usual great difficulty - yes, 'We' may indeed charge our institutions (which assuredly includes 'public schools') with behaviour to certain standards. In the present case:

Thou Shalt not proselytize nor disrespect.. the many many personal-belief oddities of the milieu.

Thou shalt inform about 'the situation' among the variously conflicting One Truths\ufffd, so as to prepare each nascent mind for the task as Will Arrive: sorting-out the fallacies contained in infinitely-nested levels within the claim,

"I Possess The Truth".

When the child becomes an adult: then shall it be revealed, how effectively has s/he become able to deal with her fellow homo-saps in the area where they are Least-sane, Most-bellicose and generally: utterly off-the-wall.

Hope this works for you, though I left out the spreadsheet of $-Costs of NOT 'doing it' .. so perhaps the bottom line isn't so clear to you.

We must give the Federal gubmint power over this "to protect the cheeldrun". Nice try Ash. Really. A for effort.
