I guess I didn't factor American society into my other post. Thats truly sad. When I grew up it wasn't an issue in Canadian schools (At the time). But now, in a society where parents can pull their kids from class because they are teaching evolution - I can see where dice (And perception gambling) could be seen in a negative light.

I might have to talk to some teacher friends of mine. I am really curious now about the legal ramifications. Thanks for bringing up the point.
