Imagine that some students change their religious identity and adopt new names for themselves, which staff and students must use.Imagine that for some school activities, students are grouped with others who similarly spiritually self-identify. And imagine that students’ religious self-identification at school and participation in these clubs is kept secret from parents because “children don’t need parents’ perm...
