In my opinion, the public schools around here have made their own little loophole in separation of church and state. For high schools there are many with a seminary building where the Mormon children have a church class. It does not, however, count as a credit, and is on separate land right next to the school. What do you think about this? That's pushing the envelope.

I think that it's a good idea to keep kids occupied who would otherwise not be in a class, thus providing opportunities for trouble.

I don't see what the problem is. It doesn't count as a credit, and technically isn't on school grounds.

If the state I live in was still primarily Mormon and there was a proposition for the same type of ordeal but for, say, Catholics, do you think that people's attitude would change (status quo: they think nothing of it, see nothing wrong with it)? Absolutely.

Do you think that the Pledge of Allegiance violates the separation of church and state by saying, ":..Under God?" I got the stare down from teachers because I would not say it, and if they pushed it I'd maybe stand. Was I the disrespectful one, or are schools and the government by requiring it even though there are many other religions within our nation? You were the disrespectful one.

The schools and the government are the disrespectful ones.

Should children who wish to pray in school be provided a space separate from the other students No. Children should not be able to pray in school.
