oh and it better not be about the 3 little kittens that lost their mittens....talk about child neglect/abuse...don't get me started

I can go on for hours

Mary had a little lamb - racially motivated, why was the lamb white, not black, brown, yellow, orange or purple.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do;
She gave them some broth without any bread;
Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed


not only child abuse...but why did she have so many?? where are the dads??? does she get child support???? it's not the kids fault she had so many....so why punish them with no bread

why is it an old woman in the shoe, why not an old man??? sexist

bah bah black sheep have you any wool....racial motivated maybe?

maybe all the dead beat dads didn't pay child support????

How is it restricting ones beliefs if you can practice it at home and in churches and special events? How many places do we need?

Seriously, Quite, I am really trying to understand this. I mean there are already places you would never think to practice ones faith. In a movie theater, a restaurant, etc etc etc. But for the sake of not restricting someones religion, we have to be able to practice it everywhere?

Well actually that would be fine if everyone's faith rituals lasted a moment in silence, but that isn't the case so we can't honor every religion out there in one place either.

The time will come when every religion and non is going to want a chunk of time in schools to do their own rituals, I can't imagine them having much time for much else. But if kept in the proper place no one is expected to expose their children to someone else's beliefs.

Why is that so unacceptable, I just can't understand it, so help...

ever wonder why so many nursery rhymes about sheep??? something against cows? horses? spiders?

As with many nursery rhymes attempts have been made to find origins and meanings for the rhyme. These include:

A description of the medieval 'Great' or 'Old Custom' wool tax of 1275, which survived until the fifteenth century.[1] Contrary to some commentaries, this tax did not involve the collection of one third to the king, and one third to the church, but a less punitive sum of 6s 8d to the Crown per sack, about 5 per cent of the value.[2] This theory also depends on the rhyme surviving unrecorded and even unmentioned in extant texts for hundreds of years.
A connection to the slave trade. This explanation was advanced during debates over political correctness and the use and reform of nursery rhymes in the 1980s, but scholars agree that it has no basis in fact.[3]


also mary had a little lamb can be meant as a religious song too

boo actually the moment of silence is for prayers to anything or just a moment to take a breath before the beginning of the day

as far as prayers outside the home...let's say something happens at school and a students feels the need to pray (not out loud or anything) but if something happened to a student and the child wants to pray for them to themselves...how is this a problem?

some religions require them to ALWAYS be worshipping. I don't feel that anyone gets to pick and choose for them when or where is appropriate.

a lot of it I don't get either, but we either have complete religious freedom or we don't.

Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.

Someone will find this to be of a religious nature.

discrimination....what's wrong with other stars...just because they aren't fast enough or they weren't seen first???
