Would you like to place a wager? How much would you like to wager that the school is willing to provide the same or equivalent room to Christians if they asked for it? The superintendent said that they would have to accommodate all students equally.
No, the superintendent said:

"...if any students wanted to have a group of non-religious activity, the district would need to accommodate them."
Answer the question RE: the wager. It doesn't even have to be $500, it can be as little as $1.
Quote:
"Students are to be permitted to pray or engage in religious activities or expression in the same manner and to the same extent as students are permitted to engage in non-religious activities or expression, before, during and after the school day."
It says students are permitted to pray. It also says non-religious activities are accommodated.
Obviously, because non-religious activities are accommodated in the same way that religious activities are accommodated.

How about $500 towards planned parenthood?
Here is her contact info. Either you or I can shoot an email over at anytime.
Hey, I'll add $500 to that! How about it informed, $1000 for a simple email exchange. Wouldn't that be sweet, collect $1000 for a total of 90 seconds' work. How can you turn it down?
Edited to add - I'll match whatever number you and lycos agree is fair.
The only group accommodated for religious activities in that public school are the Muslims. The superintendent indicates other groups will be accommodated fornon-religious activities.
The meaning of Christmas has changed, Christmas is just a drunk fest of credit card debt.
My Viking forefathers would be puzzled be the credit card thing, but an excessive party at midwinter would be just their style. That's how we rolled at Yuletide before the missionaries showed up...

There is no indication of that. No one has provided any evidence that the public school in question has provided a prayer room for Christians, Jews, or any other religious group, and the superintendent has gone on record in the news article linked in the OP indicating only that groups will be accommodated for non-religious activities.

How is that so hard for you to understand?
Several people have responded several times to these contentions of yours, and what we have said just rolls right off.
So, now down to brass tacks. If you're so sure you're right, how about putting your money where your mouth is?
What about the wager? What can you possibly lose?
What can we do to set up an escrow account?
Soon as there is one, I'll deposit $500 to it.
Or are you all hat and no cattle?
