Surprising how people fear a symbol of religion, especially Christianity.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

The only symbol that should be allowed at any government building is the proud flag of Democratland! Hail Democratland!

I was walking my dogs past the local elementary school the other day — some kind of program was going on. All of the classrooms were lit up like — well, Christmas trees — BUT, there were none.

I noticed that there wasn’t a single Christmas decoration in even one classroom. Not a one! I checked at least 12 rooms, including the kindergarten rooms — no Christmas tree, no pictures of Santa, no wreaths, no garlands. NOTHING.

How things have changed! I remember decorating contests, singing carols, Christmas trees in every room, lights up.

A sterile and Godless society indeed. Wonder if even mentioning Christmas could get teachers suspended or fired.

Put it up for a national Referendum and lets see how many Christians are left in this country.

What gives? The summary indicates 43% "yes" and 41% "no" at this time. But the state map shows all but three states solidly "no", and I can't find a "no" state spread that gives the "no" votes less than a 25% advantage. The two "yes" states combined only have 5 votes between them. Either this is bollixed or I'm missing something here ... http://nation.foxnews.com/poll/2013/12/18/should-religious-symbols-be-banned-from-public-schools-and-public-buildings/

Visit the link in post 12 and hover your mouse over the states. Given the number of votes and percentages of "no" over "yes", can you explain why the summary isn't more like 65/30 in favor of the "no" votes?

This is a sort of double edged sword (so to speak). Does this mean that in places like Dearborne, MI they're going to put up a Date tree and a Cresent Moon? Or just have a bloody stump and a bloodstained blade for the infidels to express their joys of the season?

Depends on the school. I have taught in the fourth largest public school district in the nation for 25 years. I have seen the whole gamut. In certain well to do areas you can get sued or fired if you dare to discuss Jesus Christ in nearly any context (thankfully world history has him as part of the text material and a savvy teacher can often skirt the edges...) whereas when I taught in the inner city high schools before the start of the school year it was standard for the principal to bring in several local ministers for a pre-opening of schools prayer breakfast. They would pray in the name of Jesus. Also in those schools, it was common for my students to complete their assignments for me and whip out a Bible to have a little Bible study with a few friends. As long as they stayed quiet(not disruptive to the class), I had no issue. Down in the high income areas, students who tried that had their Bibles confiscated and the teacher was reprimanded. I loved being in the inncer city, except for the thugs and arms race between gangs. The good kids were always very devout. It was just important that you know the differences between cover and concealment on your way to your car in the parking lot.
