Wow, this is disgusting..... I was born Jewish. When I was growing up our family did not celebrate Christmas in the religious sense of the holiday. However, I had no problem receiving Christmas cards or even saying “Merry Christians” to them. What is there to be offended about? Similarly, I would not be offended today if a black family sent me a Kwanzaa card, OR if a Muslim family sent me a Ramadan greeting. In fact, if I was a sick patient confined in a VA Hospital, I would appreciate that someone, especially children, took the time and effort to send me good cheer. I would also think it was a credit to the school and the instructor that would tap the God given empathy that children possess in such a positive way. How can these progressives claim they are so tolerant and enlightened while at the same time proclaiming and imposing upon society some unwritten right not to feeeel offended?

I found a number of references to Christmas and Christmas cards here and nothing I saw mentioned religious prohibitions. Is this something that’s being left up to local administrators?
