It has nothing to do with the free practice of religion or free speech and everything to do with sneaky tactics to convert children of different faiths without parental knowledge or consent.

an entire class of kids who were forbidden from writing "Merry Christmas" on holiday cards to American troops serving overseas.

Yeah, .. you're probably right.

Don’t let the facts get in the way of martyrdom.

The article posted is a bit deceptive about what happened.

Some of the “innocent” activities included loading the Christian kiddies up with Jesus pencils and candy canes with Bible verses attached to distribute to their classmates.

This wasn’t a normal purchase from the local Wal-Mart. The parents obtained the materials either through their church or a Christian bookstore with the intent to use their kids to convert others without the knowledge or consent of the other parents.

If Islamic kids handed out face veils with verses from the Koran during Ramadan, you’d be having a (justifiable) fit. Why carve out an exception for any preferred religion?

The kids are too young and there was no parental knowledge or consent. The so-called Christians who did this should be ashamed of themselves.
