43 of our 45 seniors signed it saying they were in favor of the Nativity scene. Two seniors were absent that day."

Hofer said. "To say you can't have a Christian symbol at Christmas but allow other religious symbols is discrimination,

It's also really stupid. We are celebrating a Christian holiday but are only allowed to show non-Christian decorations. Absoloute stupidity.

[Darnright]

I really, really hope this young woman goes on to law school. She would make an excellent addition to a Supreme Court some day.

On a tangential note, I would've given a lot to go to Weed High School. Or design their t-shirts.

[Time is now]

Bumping this all day long....

Check out what is going on in the Plano, Texas, school district. Unbelievable!

Appropriate list, please.
Thanks.

It's also really stupid. We are celebrating a Christian holiday but are only allowed to show non-Christian decorations. Absoloute stupidity.

It is also a clear violation of civil rights enjoyed, indeed encouraged, for other religions in the same public schools!

I don't remember that the phony "wall of separation" bu*****T mentioned that it applied to Christians only.

"I would've given a lot to go to Weed High."

Going to Weed high only leads to stronger stuff at Mainline college.

[Publius6961]

Sorry. I forgot the most important part: Thank you Jessica.
How I wish that more adults had the energy and the determination not to roll over for the mindless bureaucracies.

Just think of all the Liberals and atheist that are unable to get out of bed because it's CHRISTMAS! Just think of their terror and horror at the thought of the birthday of Jesus Christ!

[NRA1995]

Yes, read that earlier.....that should trigger massive civil disobedience on the part of all students and parents....what are they going to do, expel the entire student body?

[ladylib]

No, they'll call the cops and have them tasered and arrested.

[NRA1995]

Doubtful.....would make poor press

[ladylib]

I don't think many school officials are smart enough to realize something like that would make poor press to tell you the truth.

Look at what happened to that girl in Philadelphia. There's going to be hell to pay on that one.

[NRA1995]

I had in mind having the parents there at the school for the party as well, all wearing Christmas attire

[animoveritas]

Hope for the future!

"I though that the ruling of no Nativity set was unfair, especially when one class had 'Happy Kwanzaa' approved and another class a Menorah," Hofer said. "To say you can't have a Christian symbol at Christmas but allow other religious symbols is discrimination."

How did Kwanzaa get in the same league as other religious observations. Kwanzaa is not a celebration of any religion that I know of but a political in your face statement against the white man's Christmas.
