The U.S. is a pretty big fish and its splash is felt in most faraway waters, except maybe deown unda. I say, why don't we all take Papewaio up on his offer and move to Strayler? Some of us could use some bloody mimmoth changes.

Kids get sent home from school just for saying God bless you when somebody sneezes or wishing somebody a Merry Christmas.

Where has this happened? And your defeinition of left seems to be a strawman entirely.

Gee, who do you think is banning religious expression? The religious right you're all so terrified of?

As for where it's happening... hmm..

Westfield High School, Boston MA: 7 students suspended from school for distributing candy canes with notes attached that explained the origins of candy canes (a shepherd's crook. The red & white represent the blood of Christ's martyrdom & the purity of His spirit).

Eric Bast, of Delhi California, was suspended for 10 days because he published a flyer that talked about the origins of Christmas (the birth of Christ).

And at the Virginia Military Institute, a federal appeals court ordered them to stop saying grace.

I could go find more examples, but I already know where this is going. You claim there's no move against Christianity. I show you examples of it, and you claim in each case they're justifiable. I don't have time for this, you're not going to convince me that there's not an organized secularist fundamentalism movement out there.

This is phase 1, where the secularists claim that legal prinicple requires that all religious expression be hidden from public view. We'll see where phase 2 takes us.
