Oh...don't get me started on separation of church and state. Some recent steps
in this country like posting the ten commandments in schools and teaching
creationism are complete violations of this in my opinion. Of course my family
has a long history with this issue as my great uncle Ed Schempp was the one who
went to the supreme court to get bible reading out of schools. He's a
character. He also just had his 23rd birthday yesterday, making him 92. I
don't care what people believe, but I really don't think public schools are the
place for religion.
