[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?

More social engineering from the courts. Maybe I don't want my children to have respect for a cultural tradition that enslaves Christians, degrades woman, encourages suicided bombings and is dedicated to the destruction of Israel. Either it is ok to have religious symbols or it is not. Questions of cultural diversity have nothing to do with the isse.

Lemme help you with that question.

[Instead, the court said, the purpose was to use the birth of Jesus Christ holidays to encourage respect for Judaism and Islam diverse cultural traditions.]

The answer to your question is a resounding YES.
