Teachers trying to protect their students from Christian symbols
American Thinker ^ | 23 Dec, 2022 | Eric Utter

Incredibly — and illogically — the same teachers who push Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the classroom and revel in discussing every conceivable sexual orientation and practice with young students are absolutely determined to keep their charges from being exposed to any Christian symbols during the Christmas season. In fact, they don’t want you to even say the word “Christmas.”

The blog We Are Teachers recently reposted a 2018 Facebook article titled “Holiday Decorations Don’t Belong in Classrooms—Period.” So, it’s okay to adorn one’s classroom with a LGBTQ and/or BLM flag, but not with Christmas decorations? Yup. Why? The article cited a number of reasons, including the fact that “not everyone celebrates Christmas.” Well, not everyone celebrates gay pride or the burning and looting of American cities, either, but that doesn’t seem to matter to these insane “educators.” Another reason listed was, “The holidays are difficult for a lot of kids.” Yeah, well I’d say being forced by adults to talk about sexuality is difficult for all kids.

Then there was, “If you’re really concerned about bringing some holiday cheer, there are more meaningful ways to do it.” Yeah, like maybe dressing up in “pup play” gear or urging your peers to attend a “family friendly” drag-queen show.

And, of course, there was mention of the Constitution. Because, you know, the founders meant to inhibit the practice of Christianity in America while protecting the absolute, inviolate, God-given right of teachers to discuss polyamory and anal sex with their 11-year-old elementary school students.

And now a British university’s “inclusive language guidance” document recommends using the phrase “winter closure period” in place of “Christmas closure period” because the latter is… “too Christian-centric.” Yes, “Christmas” would necessarily be kind of “Christian-centric” due to Christ’s central role in the faith.

Sadly, Roger Waters would agree with this.

(A lot) More teaching; less “protecting”.

That’s what the job is supposed to be about... not indoctrination.

No worse, they will teach Christ, and make him something he is not.

Stories like this make me glad, I will not be around much longer.
The anointed and the elected and un-elected royalty amongst us, are hellbent on destroying everything that made the United States worth living in and for.

Anything even remotely related to Jesus is anathema to these people. Don’t worry, folks, you’ll get to spend eternity without Him.

Hideous and disgusting “Holiday” shows at grade schools all over the US, but no mention of why we are celebrating December 25. No manger scene anywhere.

Hannukuh, Kwanza? Yeah we learn about the significance.

In short, it’s a national holiday celebrating the birth of a real person, Jesus Christ. Easter celebrates his death, but public school kids have no clue about it. Just presents, presents, presents, in some households that don’t have a pot to piss in.

OTOH, Martin Luther King Day, we know all there is to know about him esp just the good not anything bad.

Columbus Day? Only propaganda.

Right now, about the only thing you can change in the public schools is attendance. Your child’s attendance.
