Well, I hope you finally got your friend atlaw to understand that, as I said right from the outset, the ACLU threatened a lawsuit and like a tent the school board folded.
The ACLU often counted on the mere threat of a lawsuit, IN FACT when the story came out into the public the board exclaimed they didn’t have the money to fight it and that’s why they folded.
Which is not true AND Thomas More and other groups have picked up the slack and taken the fight to the ACLU. Liberals are on notice threats don’t work anymore and lawsuits involve two parties, not one; and now the ACLU understands that they’re not always on the offensive.
So no Einstein, it wasn’t put a vote by the children or something.
But I see you left out several things...color me shocked and all.
The letter was dated 2005 and from a different person. The person that took the call had a complete different take.
About half way down you missed the part where another poster declared it wasn’t over.
It’s not over.
The last I’d heard Thomas More was indeed looking into it.
It’s scary that people are so stupid they equate Christmas with “winter break” and completely miss the point that Christmas isn’t over a series of weeks but occurs on one specific day, December 25th.
A Federal Holiday that’s not referred to as “holiday” anywhere else.
But as “Christmas” everywhere else in fact.
Not too many kids and families I know are celebrating the winter, they’re going out of town etc. to celebrate Christmas.
They actually call it “holiday break” on the calendar but then again it’s no longer really a calendar at all but rather a list of dates, teacher work days etc. But even then they’ve replaced Christmas break with holiday break to be politically correct and more accurately because a board caved to ACLU liberals attacking Christianity.
The whole broken system is in flux because they’re learning this year round school system they implemented (about the time of this whole calendar debacle) is constantly getting tweaked and now it’s some unintelligible hybrid between year round school and traditional school.
Liberals are simply incapable if leaving traditions and what works alone. And they demand to ruin it for everyone.
If it offends people that Christmas occurs on Dec. 25th, too bad. THAT’S the federal holiday that kids are out of school for traditionally and currently in this country and everyone knows it.
If it offends people that people say Merry Christmas and not happy holidays...too bad.
Like your fellow liberal you confuse who it is that’s getting knickers in a twist...that would be the lunatic liberals.
We’re just trying to help you understand it.
Oh, and I see you cherry picked two catholic league articles....tsk tsk...now if only I hadn’t pointed out before the other 16 MILLION hits you’ve completely ignored huh?
Geee...this reminds me of idiots that defend the ACLU by bringing up the half dozen instances where they defend Christianity while ignoring the hundreds of instances of them attacking Christianity.
It might have been worth mentioning that it was called "holiday" for years before somebody on the school board decided it should be renamed "Christmas." Why didn't that person just leave well enough alone? What was their motive?
It’s scary that people are so stupid they equate Christmas with “winter break” and completely miss the point that Christmas isn’t over a series of weeks but occurs on one specific day, December 25th.
So why name the entire two-week break after that one day?
Not too many kids and families I know...
And the only people whose feelings matter are the ones you know, right?
Oh, and I see you cherry picked two catholic league articles....
Not at all. I went to the Annual Reports section (since you said they were broken down by year, I guessed that was where you wanted us to go), clicked on 2007 (the most recent year available), chose "Activist Organizations" (figuring that if anyone was involved in anti-Christian activity, it'd be an "activist organization"), and picked 4 of the first 5 on the list. I can't help it if their list leads off with such unimpressive examples of how persecuted they are. (The 5th one is even lamer, so I did you a favor by leaving it out.)
