It seems that the seperation of church and state is being ignored. Colleges and airports are putting in foot baths for muslums so that they can clean themselves before prayer, using public money to install them. People are reporting other examples of govermental endorsment of a religion. There was a school in or near Buffalo,New York, that took a field trip to a Mosque and took part in a reading from the Koran. In San Deago there is a report froma teacher who said that while she was covering a class in an arab emersion school a district employee came into the classroom and led the girls in prayer. The girls are seperated from the boys in this shcool. The girls are picked up by a special bus so they won't have to mixwith other students or with boys. In California you have a court case that up holds a schools right to make students learn passages from the Koran to teach understanding and diversity. At the same timethe court rules that a student can not pass out information about a social grathering held at a local church after a game. In another school a parent reports that his children were taught in History Class that Islum is a peacful religion and we need to understant them. The only lesson they are given about the Christian faith is the Spanish Inquision. All ofthese actions are done under teaching diversity or to show understanding and compasion. At the same time we have people trying to give new testments to graduationg seniors being denied. You have students who try to pray at graduation being removed. In New York City you have students told they can't wesar a cross or Star of David around their neck because it might offend someone. It seems that seperation of church and state only applys to the Jewish and Christian faith. Either we have one rule in this country or we need to stop being so PC or we need to get a prayer rug and learn where Meccva is located.
