I certainly agree that in a private Catholic school, the government
has absolutely no right to say the amounts of each religion your
children should learn. However, if these other religions are discussed
as they relate to your Christian beliefs, and your beliefs are
emphasized, this can become a springboard for conversations about the
differences in the world. More importantly, conversations could begin
about how similar we are as well. If you can talk religion now with
your kids, you're way ahead of the game!
Regarding the Christmas decorations...Amen! We're celebrating the
birth of Jesus, let's say so. But is it so bad to wish our friends of
other faiths well at thier special time of year also? Isn't that what
the whole birth was about?

Best Regards and Merry Christmas!
