OK now from my point of view! I'm only 16 and I really see where your are coming from! I have gone to a public school for most of my life (Although I'm in private school now) and we were always taught that we should accept everyones beliefs and that staring @ Abu while he lit candles and prayed to Buddah was wrong. I guess I must have missed the rule, though, that said it was ok for the other kids to point and laugh when I prayed over my lunch @ the lunch table. I think its like this preconcieved idea that because we are Christians, we are used to the dirty looks and jokes, but everyone else might get their feeling hurt. Hmm well MTV can keep washing out my generations minds but luckily there are people like you, Mr. Stine, that give us hope that true humor (other than watching a dumb singer and her husband try to live daily life) is still out there! -Jeremy
