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.

There are going to a lot of chagrined people at the Last Judgement.
BOR’s not coming to their rescue?
This is one thing he does well.
We’re doing the shoebox thing at our home. There are six people plus myself making them.
Banning the observation of Christmas is what this nation was founded on. At least for the cowd of cranks we remember on thanksgiving. Christmasmwas outlawed by the pilgrims who were shocked when such antics got them harrased in england.
Freedom “of” religion not freedom “from” religion, FRF. I’d say screw ‘em and countersue them for a frivilous lawsuit and wasting my time. I’d get a firebreathing attorney with experience dealing with them who has plenty of political connections then sue them into bankruptcy.
It may not be very Christian of me, but...SHOOT THE B@$T@RD$!
You know they have to be connected to FFRF; probably one of their hydra extnsions.
Well, you don’t want to mess with Humanists, they are such caring people. Perhaps they should be direct to the Youtube video of the Syrian freedom fighter who was beheaded by accident. Everyone knows that $hithappens.
***Mathews said their small school had no choice.***
You most certainly had a choice, Renee. It’s just that you lack guts.

The school folded WAY TOO SOON! Good grief! The left has to prove that coercion exists. It cannot just be assumed.
Parents?................parents..........PARENTS!!!!! rent a hall have a Christmas party with all the students and do what you had plans on doing , fthem!
Tyranny of the .00001%
Since the Constitution, as the Founding States had intended for it to be understood, has not been taught for many generations, I’m not surprised that the community involved with “Operation Christmas Child” doesn’t know how to argue that their program is constitutional.
The American Humanist Association slogal: ‘Good (for nothing) without God’.
That was my first thought.
Yeah she cowed down way to easy, never gonna win a war that way.
We’ve decided we are going to do this as a family.....
Well, it’s entirely possible they won’t survive.
Which would probably be the best possible outcome.
We spend on average twenty dollars a box. We load it with school supplies plus some fun stuff.
