I think Beck is a nut job. But there are some things he says early in that clip where I have similar sentiments.
When my son was in kindergarten, he learned about Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, but we were told they were not allowed to talk abotu Christmas, They had bulliten boards in teh school dedicated to Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, but were not allowed to put up any for Christmas. I am not a religious person, by any stretch of the imagination, but I fail to see how that is an equitable solution. Prayer in school? Again, I am not a religious person, but I am OK with a 'moment of reflection' where you can pray silently, contemplate the universe, or wonder what your mother packed you for lunch. I don't agree with him on the 10 Commandments in court rooms. Of the 10, there are really only what 3 or 4 pertaining to laws? Maybe we just keep those?
