Tough question, I'm not sure. America was based on an idea of seperating Church and State to avoid corruption, as corruption ran wild through Europe during the middle ages and even later when the Church owned everything. I guess my answer is that everyone should have access to a public school that is not religiously affiliated. However if there are enough members of one religion in one area to warrant a public school with a religious affiliation, and they want one, I have no problem with that, whether it be Christian, Jewish, Islamic or what have you. Like I said, as long as everyone has the opportunity to attend a school without religious affiliation. I'm questioning 11 pack's desire for religion in school when his political beliefs are so clearly anti-any religion I've ever heard of.

Yeah, I left that word out.........

That is a cool strategy, find a typo and avoid the point completely.

I am beginning to think you are one can short of a 12pack,which will hopefully go down as the lame joke of the week...

In other words, he believes in majority rule if he is in the majority. If he is in the minority, then all bets are off. Typical hypocrite.

Wasn't Bill Gates the guy whose Daddy was a chief lawyer working at IBM at the time IBM decided to standardize the personal computer business through the endorsement of the DOS Operating System?

He probably meant to say agnostic. You know, people who just don't care one way or the other.

How do you figure? I'm not Jewish or Islamic but would be fine with Islamic or Jewish schools if there are enough members of that religion in one area to fill a school. What part of my post led you to make this comment? I'm really baffled.

You gotta stop wearing that Reef girl outfit to work. It drives 11pack nuts.

I bet this happens much more than you think, you just don't hear about it unless someone causes a stir.

We had a Christmas Dance where I went to HS, not a holiday dance, not a winter dance, but a Christmas dance. No one thought twice about since the school was 99% Christian or non practicing athiests who didn't really care. This would be unheard of in bigger cities where the population is more diverse.

Do you really think 100% of schools comply with the various court rulings on how much God can be mentioned?

Schools reflect the bias of the community much more than the constituion would allow.
So what is the point moe? A Christmas dance? So what. You think because they called it a Christmas dance that that is the reason you couldn't find a nice looking date?
