"Little kids get to be atheists or secularists or simply secular the same way little kids get to be Christians or Muslims" Really, X! You mean they are taught it in repetitious religious mantras in school...<g>

Sorry, Karen. I would know you anywhere (especially after you gave me the blonde clue) As I said, I have distractions today. As to "contrary traditions," the more multicultural we become, the more this will happen, and not only with religion. Someday an Asian child might bring in a leftover dog-meat sandwich for lunch. If the kids in class happen to be reading about Dick and Jane and see Spot run, I could see "an exposure to contradictory traditions in the classroom" brewing there. I think American classrooms should reflect American traditions. Traditions become traditions because the they are practiced by the majority. I know you are not a supporter of the lawsuit, for your own reasons.
