This is an
interesting article. The Broward Mall has displays of Jewish Menorahs in honor of Hanukkah, but refuses to put up Christmas symbols "because it is against mall policy to display religious symbols such as Nativity scenes." When asked "But what about the Menorahs?" the mall general manager said "the Menorah doesn't violate the policy because it's a celebration of a battle, not a religious event."
*Jaw drop* *Dumb founded*!!

Do they put up a Santa, reindeer, and Christmas trees? The article doesn't say, but it looks like people are protesting the lack of a creche specifically, so they're probably there already.

This type of thinking is one of the reasons why a group of parents started a K-12 Christian school in the Los Angeles area. It seems that kids in the public school were allowed to have a menorah at Christmas because it represented a historical event, but a creche was forbidden because the birth of Christ was not considered a historical event.
Perhaps many, many more parents should think about starting Christian schools where their children will feel welcome rather than go through this insanity every year.
