This came up in my government class today. Whether there should be a complete separation between church and state or if tradition should prevail. There have a been a LOT of cases brought to the supreme court banning many religious icons/ prayers/ etc from government and school property. Such things such as NO prayers before sporting events and no moments of silence in school.

I believe that everything should have remained how it was. Ten commandments could be displayed wherever, school prayer, etc. If you do not want to participate then keep to yourself. It's easy to do. There are a lot of things I see/hear that I don't like. But I don't go to the supreme court and tell them that my rights are being violated and having others views imposed upon me. A lot of it is a tradition of the United States. Frankly, it pisses me off to see all these cases go to court ruling in favor of people wanting a complete separation. This isn't really a new topic, so I guess I am just ranting. Just wondering others opinions. I feel very strongly that changing all of these things is infringing upon MY rights of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression. In my school, the valedictorian is NOT allowed to have God in there graduation speech, and this is the case in many schools across the nation.
