It's not just US schools that do mad things.

Creationism

When pupils start their first year at Emmanuel College in Gateshead, Tyneside, they are given a list of items they must bring with them: ruler, pens, pencils, compass, calculator - the usual paraphernalia.
But there is another, rather unexpected, pair of items on the list: two Bibles, the Holy Bible: New International Version and the Gideon New Testament and Psalms . These must be carried by Emmanuel College students at all times. 'Sometimes there were checks,' said 17-year-old former pupil Hollie Brown. 'You were punished if you didn't have your Bible. It was like some sort of cult.'

Still.. America is far superior in sick cults and such with even authority such as local police involved.
