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.'

I am aware that "your" should be "you're," and while I know I should change it as not to offend the grammar fans around the boards, school always said not to bow to peer pressure so it stays as it is

Its not just the religious
The City Academy, Bristol ‘has introduced ‘Thursday Plus’, an innovative programme offering 74 courses on Thursday afternoons Öther emphasis is on encouraging young people to take responsibility and to develop leadership skills.’ At the Bexley Business Academy it’s a trading floor, the City of London Academy has an entrance hall which features an electronic display of the FTSE 100 index. The reasoning in favour of specialisms is that excellence in one field rubs off onto other departments. A specialism also attracts extra funding.
