God bless Texas.

Last year, the Lone Star State passed a bill that allows schools to say things like, “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Hanukah” without retribution.

Co-authored by Dwayne Bohac (R-Houston) and Richard Raymond (D-Laredo), the bill, “allows students, parents, teachers and administrators the freedom to acknowledge these traditional winter holidays without fear of litigation or punishment and restores common sense by placing Supreme Court precedent into state law,” according to the law’s official website.

Good for Texas and Merry Christmas to you too, Procon. That being said, did you ever think in your wildest dreams we would come to a point in our nation that a LAW would cover someone from saying Merry Christmas?

I went to my Granddaughter’s band concert last night at her school. They played Christmas songs and actually used the word Christmas numerous times in the program.

Not all of them will allow it but some will. It doesn’t change the fact that all public schools are bastions of enemy control.

Here is a school district that is not afraid of the word “Christmas”, which doesn’t mean it uses any different curriculum than all the others.
