47. I agree except on one issue...
Edited on Mon Dec-27-04 05:54 AM by lgardengate
To say that the Constutition says we have freedom FROM religion is not ecactaly correct.We have the freedom to be any religion or no religion,but not to be free from any mention or show (whatever you call it) of religion.I don't want the school to TEACH religion.I just want the kids to be able to sing christmas carrols if they want to,to say Merry Christmas,or have a Christmas play if they want to be a part of it.We can even call it history if people feel that is a better way.We did all this in school for YEARS but reciently,it's all canciled.Children were even told NOT to say Merry Christmas in school so no one else would be offended.In my opinion that is INSANE.
We dont need public funds.We just want the freedom to a few simple things that were always fine,in the past,but now are banned so as to offend no one else.
