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.
That's because Thanksgiving is, or can be, celebrated by all Americans.
You didn't get the memo? Your ilk is busily attacking that too, seems it's offensive to native 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?
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?
I forgot that you have trouble following an argument in paragraphs that are more than one sentence long.
Sorry.
I’ve been trying to find out exactly what happened in Georgia.
Some sites claim that the issue was renaming the winter break “Christmas holiday” or “Christmas vacation.”
This claim is supported by the statement from the school board’s PR director that I linked to earlier.
(And I notice you have nothing to say about the fact that it was called the “holiday break” for years before the “Christmas” renaming issue.)
Others claim that the issue was removing the word “Christmas” altogether.
This is what you implied when you wrote “For as long as there’s been a Newton School board Dec. 25th has always been referred to as Christmas.”
There’s a difference.
Are you capable of seeing the difference?
So did they stop calling Dec. 25th Christmas, or not?
You write, “I don’t have problems with foreigners until they come over here demanding Christmas be removed from public calendars.”
One of the cases from the catholicleague site I mentioned involved a Jewish person who objected to calling the holiday “Christmas recess.”
Is she a “foreigner” who has “come over here”?
Or is she a, you know, American citizen who doesn’t happen to celebrate Christmas?
Can you imagine such a thing?
