If it was in School that you learned it Peg, I imagine that Alex probably has the right of it (hmmm, was that a pun?)at least in the US....the NEA is of the opinion that school children should celebrate diversity all day long as long as we don't include Christianity at all in the mix.

I can understand that this point of view might be a backlash from the OVER-emphasising of the religion in the past, which I agree was wrong as well,but can't we who are supposed to be enlightened find a more balanced middle ground? (This would be about the time I sigh heavily and realise that as long as both sides are motivated by fear, it won't happen easily)

Peace to you all,
Thyme
