You comply with the rules, regulations and norms of Rome.
As long as a person enters Rome, He or She is supposed to do what Romans do.
So there is no big deal about this at all. Either you comply or you leave.

Every faith has schools which are funded by gov't. If e muslims can obey rules in christian schs they should go to public or islamic schs. They cannot tell us how to run our lives. This conspiracy with NDC govt wont work.
The African Bishops Conference Regards Catholic Running Of Its Schools Are Right If Students Dont Like The Program In Its Schools Go Elsewhere Simple As That.
