When I was in the 4th grade, in 1976, my public elementary school did a holiday program wherein Christmas and Hanukkah traditions were included. Nobody batted an eye, nobody made a peep. 'Course that was a long time ago.

I think what is happening is that some people want to strive for diversity but only for the minority populations, then the majority populations feel slighted. Does that make sense?

Sure, there's no law in the US against praying wherever you want to. But what happens is that some well-meaning people misinterpret that to mean that Jimmy can't say a blessing to himself before he eats his lunch in the cafeteria.

Has anyone considered the idea of approaching religion in school from a historical standpoint? Whether a person participates in a religious faith or not, religion is a worldwide concept which often dictates how people behave. I think it could be useful for young people to learn about it from a factual basis.

Anyway.... I'm not sure exactly what I'm trying to say...
