It's interesting to see how the subjective opinions of judges plays into defining "undue hardship." And, if unjust, it's completely to be expected that they would undervalue choices different from their own. To me this is less about the law and more about our failure in the U.S. to provide future lawyers with a sense of the value of arts, theology, and ground-level community/social services. Still, in the meantime we need a consistent legal definition of undue hardship.- TL
