This was a difficult story to locate online after I saw it in the San Diego paper.

I'm shocked at the logic of this ruling and it is one of the 'bright line' rulings that tell us where our nation is at. I'm most definitely not one given to find 'Christian bashing' under every rock but the idea liberal adoration of multiculturalism justifies a violation of their own Separation of Church & State sacred cow reveals a bias specifically against Christian theology.

This case has to make it to SCOTUS. Where's the ACLU?

Probably in East Manhattan working diligently to see that Lenin does not get buried.

"This case has to make it to SCOTUS. Where's the ACLU?"

The ACLU brought the suit or were partners in it this is what they wanted. Where they are is helping the terrorist, and any other anti-American they can help with our tax money.

[The appeals court said no objective observer would believe the city wanted to communicate to its million-plus students "any official endorsement of Judaism and Islam or any dismissal of Christianity." Instead, the court said, the purpose was to use holidays to encourage respect for diverse cultural traditions.]


Are they admitting that by prohibiting Christian symbols but allowing symbols for other religions they are doing it out of disrespect for Christianity?

[Teacher317]

So much for the lie that they're simply interested in equality.

They simply hate whatever lies at the foundation of this great nation, and work hard to destroy it. Example #24363325

The Judges have spoken. Now it's time for the people to totally ignore their ruling, and the Executive branch to refuse to enforce it.

[backtothestreets]

I'm beyond shocked. I'm appalled!

;the purpose was to use holidays to encourage respect for diverse cultural traditions.

Diversity defined as anything but Christian, anything but Straight, anything but White, and anything but American.

PC/Diveristy is the biggest collection of bigots ever assembled.

R.O.P.?

A Shiite Muslim worshipper flagellates himself in front of a banner
showing Imam Hussein 's head, to mark the Muslim festival of Ashoura,
outside the Imam Hussein shrine, Thursday in the holy city of Karbala,
50 miles south of Baghdad, Iraq. The festival of Ashoura commemorates
the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Muhammad at the Battle
of Karbala, Iraq, in the year A.D. 680.

Skoros v New York Cit can be viewd as a PDF file.

A good case for the Roberts court to kill Lemon and take a major bite out of Everson.

[Polybius]

........ which allows symbols of Jewish and Muslim holidays but prohibits Christian nativity scenes. Santa Claus, reindeer and Christmas trees are permitted.

The title should read, "Federal court allows schools' Jewish, Muslim, secural and pagan symbols......."

[SkyDancer]

So now why bother with Christmas??? I mean its all about the birth of Jesus, right? You mean you can't now honor the person for whom the season is the reason????

This will be appealed, I'm sure and will not stand. This is how corrupt NY State has become.

I attended Public School in NYC in the 60s & 70s, in Manahttan. Well do I remember singing in the Chorus, led by a Jewish Teacher, and we sang The Hallelujah Chorus, amoung many other "religious" works. He always used "Silent Night" as an audition song, he said "Everyone knows it and the range is useful for this purpose". He was very good, he always strove to include more Old Testament themed Choral works (we had a largely Jewish student population), too bad he didn't have better singers to work with than us!

He also put up a GREAT (for Jr. High School) production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, an unjustly overlooked work by Andrew Lloyd Weber. You should have seen the kid he got to play the Pharoh/Elvis role, the biggest hoodlum in the school, and he was GREAT!

Guess this couldn't happen today....such a shame.

Where's the ACLU?

They're right where they want to be.

This is just another outright admission, the same as the ACLU constantly admits, that Christianity is the founding faith of the nation. It's just another acknowledgement that the strength of the nation is the Christian faith.

Somebody needs to sue theses a$$wipes for a violation of US Code Title 18 Section 242...Deprivation of rights under color of law!
