My thoughts on the polls
I wanted to take this time to thank you guys for being very responsive on the various polls that I have. This blog is going to go over the different results and is basically asking for your feedback as to why you think that the polls may have a specific outcome. On my first poll, I asked you to vote on whether you think church and state is really separated. The results, surprisingly, were that the majority of you thought that church and state was really NOT seperated. This was surprising to me because I thought that many people would think that these two things were seperated considering the growing diversity in our country. The second poll was whether prayer should be allowed in public schools. Although most of you chose the answer I thought you would choose which was no it shouldn't be, a number of you still chose that it should be in public schools. I thought that this was also surprising considering how people fought to get it out of schools. I would have thought it would have been a big difference between the two results. My question to you, my reader, is why do you think I received these results?

Church and state are overlap all the time so I didn't really see your results for the first poll as shocking. As far as no prayers in schools goes, i don't think it should be allowed. I do believe that people have their own religions and such but you can wait until you get home to pray. It doesn't need to be performed in school. Also, for some reason I think that prayers allowed in schools would lead to more hate crimes because some people discriminate.
Thank you hotshot for your comment. I agree with you that prayer shouldn't be in schools. Our country was built on the principles of religious freedoms so why should someone be forced to pray to a God that they may not believe in. It was an interesting point you brought up about the hate crimes, I never thought about that.
