Christmas has no requirements regarding fasting, prayer, etc., that would impact the school day, so it's not a parallel situation.
I say organize the parents and kids to bring all of the Christmas paraphernalia they like, and just dare the schools to do something about it.
This is not only a disgrace to Christian parents, but there's a probable law suit in the above sentence.
The NEA is indoctrinated. Hate everything that is basic American Christian, and keep preaching endlessly about diversity and multiculturalism. Everything is fine but Christianity which is a zero-tolerance zone for the NEA.
Yer not gonna like this one....
Ramadan moves back two weeks every year on our calendar. The Ramadan a ding dong all things being equal crowd is really going to look like the fools that they are when it hits during the summer.
Christians just don't have that reputation.
Since school officials only respect power, it's undoubtedly time to sue them individually and as a group for this sort of nonsense. Remember, the school district may have the "deep pockets", but if your objective is to chastise stupid school district officials, you have to go after their own fortunes and property, however little they might be.
Immediately following Ramadamdingaling will be classes in beheadings, female circumcision, how to beat your wife without leaving bruises that cant' be covered with a burqua, and a variety of other quaint and delightful practices that will leave your head spinning on the floor.

Just one more. Is this crazy or what? It is insane. Christianity outlawed, even the very word "Christmas" is forbidden. Yet Muslim holidays are practically mandated, with all kinds of special attention, understanding, allowances for observation, and so on.
I am thoroughly disgusted by the destruction of Christ Mass. All it is where I live is "holiday this" and "holiday that". Well, holiday means Holy Day. And the holy day is Jesus Christ's birthday celebration. Whether his birthday is really Decemeber 25 or not is irrelevant. That's the day it has been observed for - well, almost 2,000 years.
That's it, I'm painting my sign tomorrow.
Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

Is it illegal to sing Christmas carols in public school? Or to display a manger scene or even to say the words "Merry Christmas" in those halls of learning?
Many public school officials act as though such prohibitions were clearly laid on in the Constitution and defensively ban every vestige of "religious expression" out of fear of an expensive ACLU lawsuit.

Defending Religious Freedom
We live in a culture increasingly hostile to Christians and their faith. America has become a nation where public school students are prohibited from praying, acknowledging their dependence upon God, and forming religious clubs; where schools and communities are challenged from displaying nativity scenes, the Ten Commandments, and other symbols of our religious and moral heritage. The Thomas More Law Center affirms the right of Christians to publicly practice their religion and freely express their religious beliefs. Our Founding Fathers fought for a nation built on a foundation of religion and morality. Our lawyers are committed to restoring and preserving that foundation.
Hmmm, wasn't this country started on the basis of freedom of religion as a BIG issue???? Now we've come full circle to condemn it again.
