Alas, your religious teens aren't a protected class- unless they are being discriminated against because of their religion- something you will have enormouse difficulty proving, and of course you wouldn't be able to single out any particular religion in the public schools- you'll have to blame the constitution and not me for that. We have a separation of Church and state- but as far as I know, there is no separation of sex and state.

However if you wanted to have a private seminar to expound your views I wouldn't STOP you. Religious folk have big rallies all the time. Although because of the separation of church and state I can't see letting teachers have credits for such events. You've got a constitutional law problem with what you want to do. I see no such problem with Gay and Lesbian seminars.

And what did "a moment of silence each money" mean?

So now that you're on board with the role of government in promoting anti-suicide messages, how do you reconcile this with your party affiliation? Why would religious students be at particular risk? Are they universally hated and persecuted, beaten and killed for their practices? Go ahead and apply for a grant, though. I wouldn't discourage you.
