So, i finally decided my controversial topic. It's Christianity in the classroom and in schools period. i just got done writing my propposal and I think it's good. There are some definite questions that I want answered about like how did praying in schools become banned and whatnot. i also want to know whether praying in schools differs depending on the type of school (Public, Private, religiously Afaliated, or not). One of the hot topics of this subject is if Darwinism or Creationsm should be taught in sciennce courses. I would like to interview Mrs. Bradley and get her reason for why she chooses one over the other. The mini spinoff of talking about Christianity in the classoom, is whether other religions other than Christianity feel that their religons should be taught in the classroom and how are their children affected by being taught one thing at school and another at home?
So yes, this is the progress have made, I haven't really started on research, but I will soon.

When I read your topic, the first thing that came to mind was the court case in California about the father who didn't want his daughter to say "under God" in the pledge of allegiance (I think that happened). It is an important and controversial topic, and I personally think that people should not have religion taught or forced upon them in public schools. After all, freedom of religion is a right. The only exception would be in private religious schools because students are making the choice to go there.
Hey Steve!
I like your topic. I was thinking about doing something like this myself.
I think that if people wish to pray into schools, they should be allowed to. If people wish to not pray in schools, then they should not be made to. It is their right to choose. However, if one goes to a strict religious school, then the case could be different.
I do not know if you are also trying to incorporate this, but some people are trying to stop people from saying the pledge because it says "under God". They do not like how it makes reference to God and Christianity (if they do not believe in Him or the religion).
