Are you claiming that they changed the name of Dec. 25th on the calendar--that the day itself wasn't labeled "Christmas" any more? Because if not, I don't see the relevance of your comment.
I'm not familiar with foreign cultures that celebrate some holiday on or around Thanksgiving , nevertheless if there is or isn't, the very American holiday of Thanksgiving isn't deemed "offensive" enough to remove.
That's because Thanksgiving is, or can be, celebrated by all Americans. Your reference to "foreign cultures" is telling here--you seem to view any tradition other than your own as "foreign." How long do Jews, Hindus, and others who might not celebrate Christmas have to be here before their traditions get to be called "American" too?
So everyone's "feelings matter" except the majority Christian?
No, the majority Christians' feelings matter too. They just don't trump everyone else's. Sorry if you don't like that very American tradition.
Of course you don't. You're incapable.
I don't have access to every calendar put out, not ones used for teachers or whatever, the one for the students and their family is the one I'm referring to and it changes every single year: form, format, style, content; but only since the ACLU demanded Christmas be removed so as not to offend anyone, was Christmas removed from ANY school calendar. Period.
Which is the entire point.
I see you like to still get off into side tracks...I hope one day you'll finally understand they're ineffective.

You didn't get the memo? Your ilk is busily attacking that too, seems it's offensive to native Americans.

I don't have problems with foreigners until they come over here demanding Christmas be removed from public calendars or getting into lawsuits because they won't remove their burkhas to take a photo for a driver's license.
Can you share with us the hindu holiday American children have obseved all these years while out of school in mid December to January?
No, the majority Christians' feelings matter too. They just don't trump everyone else's. Sorry if you don't like that very American tradition.
So in your world, in order that your feelings not be hurt, AND to keep us mean ole Christians in check you think Christmas should be removed from public, and that's your idea of us not trumping you?
Man that's just stupid.
BTW are you sure you know what board you're on confucius?
