On October 22, 2002 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that "the Waukesha School Board [WI] president is pushing a requirement for all students to study different religions in high school. In a memo to School Board members, William Domina said he wanted every student in the district to graduate with a basic knowledge of religions including Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism. 'Without this basic understanding, I am concerned that we have not provided our children with a full and complete education and that they will be left to the stereotyping and misunderstandings that have been the basis for great human suffering in the world,' he wrote. But some question whether students have enough time to devote to studying religion, given other graduation requirements in place, or whether they even would be interested."
