Banning Christmas trees in NYC public schools while allowing menorrahs and so forth shouldn’t be that hard to find OR grasp.

Okay, I picked this story to follow up on out of the ones you listed. And it turns out that Christmas trees are allowed; it was the manger scene that was banned. And it was banned because it's an explicitly religious symbol, while the tree, menorah, and star and crescent are not. Once again, the real story doesn’t support your overwrought retelling of it.

Amazing.

Yes that’s true also, but the Christmas trees were also banned, keep digging.

But you also completely ignored just how wrong it is to ban the manger scence, and how many religions have menorrahs? To say one symbol is somehow insignificant and the other is specific is sheer liberal lunacy.

And way to ignore the overwhelming mountain of evidence of the other examples too!

TWO THUMBS UP! ;)
