I believe that the law says that a school cannot force a student to take
a test (or any other similar activity) if it occurs on a day that conflicts
with a religious holiday.  That is why special arrangements can be made to
take SAT and other ETS tests on days other than Saturdays.  Alternative
arrangements must be made.  If the teacher or college will not do this, I
think this is grounds for a lawsuit.			Rich
