Permanently Banned from Commenting on You Tube.

I have only been using You Tube for about a year. I'm an elderly lady and certainly don't use violent language or hate speech. I had two warning messages a couple of months ago and never knew why, so I thought I was being especially careful. I got a message that disappeared so quickly I couldn't read it, and havent been able to post since. Is there any way to appeal this, or at least find out what I did that got me banned?

Texas Becomes Christian Theocracy

I was shocked to read online that Texas no longer recognizes separation of church and state. A law has been passed mandating posting a copy of the Ten Commandments in every classroom in the state. Far worse, they have also passed a law allowing schools to replace certified school counselors with uncertified Christian chaplains. The chaplains will be allowed to proselytize. I know I'm cynical, but my immediate thought is: "How many of these people will be pedophiles?" This is completely against the Constitutional mandate of separation of church and state, but apparently is legal now due to a recent Supreme Court ruling. The Court ruled that it is legal for a coach to pray on campus with his students, which apparently opened the floodgates to all this. More laws inserting Christianity into government are in the works in Texas. I'm horrified, and speechless.
