As a parent of three son's - two who are Jewish and one who is Muslim. I found it to be quite hard on the children during these times. The rest of the year, children do not really notice religion differences and quite frankly color. Yet... When the holidays approach it becomes a club of sorts.

If we know this to be true... That it is religion which in so many ways is the culprit to war, then why would we not believe it would effect children the same way, when specific days and treatments are given to specific religions. It creates separatism and not unity.

I vote for removing all religion from the schools, as one poster said - Separation from church and state, as I believe the pledge of allegiance should be removed from school as well. Not all children believe in One God!
