The issue of what to do with religious symbols really seems to have come to the fore in recent months; more so than at any other time I can recall. Peggy Noonan speaks from personal experience in this column about the banning of religious symbols: "Censoring doesn't work. Accommodation does. But a particular kind of accommodation. The answer is not banning religious symbols. This brings resentment and engenders a quiet seething that does not encourage peace and understanding. The answer is not to banish religious symbols from the public square. The answer--the pro-peace position if you will--is to fill the public square with the signs and symbols of faith. It is not to banish them from the schools, it is to teach them in the schools. "
