I do not believe that Christians would likely approve of the use of the name. However, it would likely be resolved as an informal matter in the school. The possible flogging of the rape victim in Saudi Arabia and the teacher here should prompt some serious self-reflection among Islamic jurists about their legal system in these countries.

What would the fundies in Alabama do if a 2nd grade teacher let the kids name the bear Jesus?

Why must citizens of these United States continually struggle to preserve the first amendment when the horror of theocracy is forever obvious?
