Then they should ban Ramadan, Kwanza and any other religious celebrations, too.

The law-breaking, Godless Left at it again.
Marxists run our schools. Thanks to the parents and voters who do not fight back.

On Wednesday, a school district official responded by sending its own email to KDFW saying:

“The school was unaware of this and it was not an official PTA correspondence either. There have never been any limitations on what students wear, what they bring to share with their classmates on party days… what greetings people exchange with each other.”

Okay, so why the article? It sounds as if there are no restrictions. Sounds like one parent on the PTA causing trouble.

The bill also unambiguously legalizes displays of religious imagery associated with traditional winter holiday celebrations including nativity scenes, Christmas trees and menorahs

Protestant churches view... statue of mary- IDOL!
Add man and non descrit baby to statue of Mary and it is.. a NATIVITY SCENE.. oh, how sweet and acceptable..

Ugh...

Come out from among them, and be separate says Yah, and you h no unclean thing and I will receive you.
And will be to you a Father,
And you shall be to me sons and daughters..

Merry Christmas law? Boy the moral majority is overrun by masonic occultists.. perfect time for more separation of church and state, and not being in bed with them, even if you follow their traditions..

You are now free to call me scrooge.. give my best to santa...

“....and anything that will stain the carpet...”

That sort of eliminates the kids, doesn’t it?

[dhs12345]

And they pretend that there isn’t an attack on Christmas.

I went to a public school and didn’t attend church and I know ALL of the Christmas songs word for word. We sang them in the Christmas programs at school!

Now, even the mention of Christmas in public schools draws ire of many progressives and threats from atheists.

There IS attack on Christmas, no doubt.

Liberals only care about laws they create.

[relictele]

Sorry but fighting these battles on the statists’ turf ie their indoctrination centers is a mistake, legality notwithstanding.

EVERYTHING but actual classroom instruction should be yanked out of schools quick smart. That means sports, plays, music, etc. School-hosted activities are an anachronism from our agrarian past where the only two centers of public interaction were schools and the church(es). Obviously they’ve destroyed the church as a hub of civilized society so its time to return serve.

Sports can and should be moved to private club teams and leagues who can set their own rules. This will eliminate any nonsense about girls playing football etc. it will also allow recruiting openly and put bureaucrats out of a job in policing transfers, eligibility, etc.

Plays and music and dances should be taught by organizations dedicated to same. All activities will be staged on private property and subject to invitations, dress/behavior code that enforces male/female couples only, etc. If they want to stage a religious play or concert then they can do what they like without malcontent Muslims, annoying atheists and other troublemakers bleating about accommodation. They can stay home and wallow in their isolated misery with no legal recourse.

I know staunch conservatives love their school sports teams but this war will only be won by guerrilla tactics which means adapting in order to undermine the enemy.

In addition, the school day can be significantly shortened. Intensive bursts of instruction in academic, not political, topics will replace long boring reinforcement of muddle headed PC. The only reason kids are there for 6+ hours is the free babysitting aspect. But schools have abused and exploited their in loco parentis duties and are no longer fit to be guardians of youth. If public schools are a necessary evil for the time being then they must be repurposed and greatly downsized.

Will they take away the state money from that school since they aren’t following the law?

[Cowboy Bob]

Who is the party “organizer?” Was this person ever named?

[Don Corleone]

And NO HOLIDAYS of any description are to be days off for the teachers. If they don’t respect my holidays I don’t respect theirs. Work ‘em seven days a week, summer and winter. No Saturdays off, Jewish, no Sundays, Christian. IOW work the bass turds till they either wake up or quit!

[stevio]

It’s what liberals do. Illegal immigration, anti-2nd amendment laws, illegitimate president, etc, etc, etc.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Rep. Pat Fallon is on top of all this. He is up and coming in the conservative movement - very similar to Ken Paxton who’s also up and coming. We know both personally and they are strong in their beliefs.

I sense firing in this principal future

I would say Merry Christmas since it is Texas
How about Feliz navidad

[trebb]

She said they didn’t want to offend any families and since each family donates money they feel this is the best policy.”

Don't want to offend any families that aren't Christian. Christian families should band together to stop all donations to let them know who the real donors are....let the other unoffended families take up the slack for a while.
