A South Carolina charter school has canceled its annual Christmas toy drive after a group of self-described humanists complained that the project violated the U.S. Constitution and accused them of bribing children to convert to Christianity.
Renee Mathews, the principal of East Point Academy in West Columbia, S.C., said the annual Operation Christmas Child project was halted because the American Humanist Association threatened to sue the school.
“We received a letter saying we had to cease and desist immediately or they would take legal action against us,” Mathews told me.
The small charter school had been participating in Operation Christmas Child for the past two years without any controversy.
"This letter serves as notice to policymaking school officials of the East Point Academy’s unconstitutional conduct and as a demand that the school terminate all promotion, sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation with Operation Christmas Child immediately,” read the letter from the American Humanist Association.
Mathews said their small school had no choice.

Anyone who actually believes that this “violates” the U.S. Constitution is doing way too many recreational drugs and is clueless about what is in the Constitution. IMHO.
OCC is a great organization. I encourage everyone to send an extra shoebox of toys to OCC children in response to this humanist action.
Mathews said their small school had no choice.
No choice, eh? If it were me I would be plastering that little notice over all of the local bulletin boards and using the school’s own lighted sign, (if they have one), to let everybody reading it about how these ‘Scrooge’s’ ruined a needy child’s Christmas.
It’s long past time for this stuff to be blasted publicly so that shame can be rained down on the perpetrator’s heads.
I read this yesterday on TheBlaze. Vile.
The War On Christmas is starting early this year.
I’d say hang these f*ckers.
But for once I’ll go with the islamics and suggest stoning.
At least, religious liberty used to be the case in South Carolina.
We never should have allowed the communists and Nazis to take over the judicial branch. But hey! They’re everywhere now. They’ve even been allowed to grab the military from us. The churches sold us out five years ago. JMO.
They should go Caroling outside their home everyday at 4am!
Notify Marines for Toys; the kids will still have toy come Christmas morning.
That is a great idea!
Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an establishment of religion, or PROHIBITING the free exercise thereof.
I guess that's too simple for a highly “evolved” satanist...oops ...humanist to understand. They think they are smarter than God. They might even think they are smarter than their High Priest Bill Maher.
The ACLJ could have these heathens for breakfast
They got a letter
big whoop
I say, send these evangelical humanists to a solidly islamic country for a couple years. They will be very glad to come back to a Christian country.
After a foretaste of Hell like that, they may even become Christians!
greaat idea... I’m up to the challenge. Will write the school and tell them I will send several boxes IN THEIR HONOR!

Some day they will stand before a Judge.
They will not be speaking hate to Him then.
