Quote of the Day

Unfortunately, in order to get around this, the city will just remove the menorahs, Kwanzaa bush, and Festivus pole instead.

Just one more example of how Christains only ask for inclusion - it's the "others" (imagine some horror flick suspense music) that are always trying to stop someone from exercising their rights.

And you think i'm too sensitive about this...

Next thing you know, the atheists will be demanding that "under God" be removed from the Pledge.

Gramsciites.
This is a double. Christianity is attacked and anti-Semitism is promoted by leftists!

[joesnuffy]

A Christian nation cut off from its own festivals and then told it must also be inclusive of
non Christians as they try to exclude and expell God and His Son from the nation they founded..and...on the Son's birthday celebration...aka the salvation of mankind from eternal death...
satan never sleeps...

Principal Kicks Nativity Scene Out Of School

A controversy over holiday decorations at a school in Montgomery County continues over the removal of a nativity scene where other holiday displays were allowed to remain.

There's a Christmas tree in the lobby of Horsham's Dorothea Simmons Elementary School, along with a Menorah and items representing Kwanzaa.

Around the corner, a holiday display is complete just in time for the school's first holiday concert in 12 years.

But there's a problem, because the decorations originally included a nativity scene.

A committee of parents showed it to the principal. She asked them to remove the nativity scene.

"I thought that it went over the top and overboard," said Principal Karen Davis. "I thought it was especially inappropriate for a public school."

Some parents don't agree, especially since the principal didn't change the Kwanzaa or Hanukkah sections.

"I don't see why it had to be taken down, if you are an atheist or whatever you are," said Carol Stevens. "It's a part of life, a part of history."

Davis said Kwanzaa isn't a religious holiday and the Menorah is much of a cultural symbol as it is a religious symbol.

"Judaism is not just a religion, it's a culture, also," Davis said. "I felt that the nativity scene was definitely promoting Christianity."

Dawn Reynolds's son attends the school and she agrees with the decision.

"It shouldn't necessarily be in the school if you don't go to a Catholic school," Reynolds said.

Officials said the school's superintendent will be meeting with parents to discuss their concerns and talk about what is the best way to represent all the different traditions during the holiday season.

The Democrats and the godless left march relentlessly onward in their quest to destroy traditional America and its families. Thank God for organizations like the Thomas More Law Center. Even when they fail, they at least succeed in exposing corrupt and/or spineless judges and courts.
