[Monterrosa-24]

Back in my Central America days I saw lots of Leftist Mennonites supporting the Sandinistas and the FMLN of El Salvador. Once I challenged a Mennonite couple about it who were wearing traditional clothing and they objected to the trendy Leftists. So just like Catholics, Methodists, Lutherans, et al, it was a divided sect.

Still I don't think exceptions should be made in public schools for uniforms for Mennonites or mohammadans. Don't attend the school if you don't like the rules. Most public schools are unable to rise to the level of the cult of mediocrity anyway.

As I remember, it was Sarah who made the request and not her parents. Because of values instilled by her family, she was concerned about her modesty. I knew her family very well and they were definitely not Sandinista. Her father served in WWII as a conscientious objector and was a convoy driver in Italy.
