What's Your Opinion?
Compiled by Bill O'Neill
Question: Once again there's debate over the ban on nativity scenes in public school classrooms, while it is permissible to show symbols designated as non-religious, such as christmas trees, the islamic star, crescent and chanukah menorahs. Briefly, what do you think?
 | | "The thing is, what's the purpose of having symbols of Christmas but not actually the nativity scene? You'll be talking about Jesus and the Wise Men anyway."
- Herbert Antley, Canarsie |
|
 | | "Everybody should have their own symbol. They shouldn't just have the nativity scene. There should be something for everybody - to have their own."
- Rose Brown, Canarsie |
|
 | | "My honest opinion is they should just represent all holidays in a non-religious way - not just have the nativity scene. Schools are made up of many different types of people who have many different types of religious roots."
- Carlos Pacheco, Canarsie |
|
 | | "If you are teaching the children, giving them knowledge - give them the complete knowledge with exposure to all different types of religions. Don't just have the nativity scene - and all that represents."
- Joann Gordon, Canarsie |
