Look, I am not against crucifixes in classrooms, and I don't bevlieve Mark is! The problem I see with crucifixes in PUBLIC schools is that in that case every minority can display symbols of their gods! That will be the end result.

That is one problem. How would we like the horned god on one side of the Crucifix and Shiva on the other? And who's going to pay for the purchase, upkeep and maintenance of them? If I go and create my own religion, as L. Ron Hubbard did, does my religion's symbol go up on the wall, even if I am the only one following it?

AS far as crucifixes are concerned, their place is not in public schools under these circumstances. Just as France banned Muslim veils (butkhas?) in public schools on the same premise, crucifixes will have to go. Italy, Poland and Greece have no leg to stand on. Three voices against 24.

The only way to have them there is to change the law so that they are mandated there. Simple, but not easy. Well, gentlemen of the holy protest: what is your plan in the United States to put crucifixes throughout a single public school. Pick one, any one. Take pictures and post them here and I will apologize in any method that you prefer. But until then, this talk of sedition and protest and revolt is back room tavern at best. Maybe more like sophomore political debate at a junior college.

Exactly my point, Mark. A voice of reason!

Amen to that Mark.
