Texas School District Bans Christmas Colors

(MCNS)--Attorneys filed a federal civil rights lawsuit today against the Plano Independent School District for a discriminatory policy that censors the Christmas religious expression of students and their parents.

“The policy is a perfect example of politically correct extremism,” said Alliance Defense Fund Senior Counsel Gary McCaleb.

“School officials have gone so far as to prohibit students from wearing red and green at their ‘winter break’ parties because they claim they are Christmas colors. Even the plates and napkins must be white. The district’s policy is ludicrous to even the most common observer.”

The supposed seperation of Church and State, as used by the ACLU, should be attacked as sword that cuts both ways.

For example the rules as put out by the schoool district are illegal, since they are not allowed to make any laws regarding a church or religion.

So why does barely a day go by without a thread or few appearing discussing the smallest aspect of a Royal's life? Face it, America is obsessed.

Because we have Democrats, Gays and infantile females, to whom that sort of crap, is Manna from Heaven. Also it is about the only thing the MSM gets right, and it is about the only thing which still sells Newspapers.

We have been discussing inexpensive ways to fast track kids through high school to avoid the liberal agenda:

The thread title was not well thought out, because some parents might instinctively skip over it due to attached stigma, whether real or imagined.

Even the plates and napkins must be white.

If the napkins and plates are provided by the school, their color should not convey religious significance. Nothing provided by the school should convey the idea that religion has official approval.

Kids going to public school should not get the idea that religion is real or valuable from the school itself. Religion, in detail and appreciation for its value, should be taught at home, church, or not at all.

Bill O'Reilly just mentioned this story a few minutes ago as if were current. I wonder if his sources misinformed him about the date or if the school district in Plano is still acting insane a year later.
