I detest militant atheists but there is no reason Christmas should be celebrated in public schools or Yom Kippur or Satan’s birthday, or Ramadan.

Religious holidays are wonderful. Celebrate them at home in church or temple but not in the public schools.

Guess you never read George Washington or Samuel Adams words.

Shove your secularist point of view and comparisons with satan.

I'll not post more lest I get banned for the opinion I hold of your insulting diatribe.

Go to Du fool.

That reason is called the First Amendment.

Specifically:

(Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,) or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

Lincoln/Grant (Who Federally sealed the deal) “imported” the South's love of celebrating Christmas and incorporated the celebration into the Federal government. Take it up with their spirits if you will (Lincoln promoted Christmas, thought he is a “god” to atheists, lol).

We grew up celebrating them in school. What has changed?

Until very recently no one ever thought there was anything wrong with mention of Christmas or God in public schools. Only because of secular humanism/marxism is God taken out of schools. And since 85% or more of the US population celebrates Christmas, I don’t see why dragging in Satan and Ramadan is relevant. Actually Ramadan and other Islmic crap is shoved down kids’ throats in schools all over, and atheists never say a word.

Odd how secular leftists luv Islam. I guess the dominance, violence and hatred just naturally attract them.

Being run by the Government means the schools follow Government holidays. Christmas is a Government holiday
