No, Christ isn’t allowed in Christmas

They’re certainly a main reason there are so many ignorant and prejudiced teachers in schools.

The Libs from other parts of the country have discovered how good we have it here in the South and have moved down here polluting everything they come into contact with.

Substitute “Christ” for Jesus. Then lets see the teacher deduct for an inappropriate Christmas assignment.....

[R. Scott]

“What Christmas means to me.”

To the boy "Christmas" meant a celebration of the Christ's birth. To the teacher it might have meant the end of long nights and the return of the sun. If Jesus wasn't allowed, the assignment shouldn't have been worded “What Christmas means to me.”

So the schools can teach Kwanza, Ramadan, the Winter Solstice, etc, but not Christmas?

[Tanniker Smith]

the word “Jesus,” which, the instructor explained, is a name not allowed in school.

So I guess I'll have to tell Jesus Martinez that he's not allowed in my 4th period class after all.

While I'm at it, why don't I kick out all the Joshua's, too.

Not sure I would blame the teacher. With the kinds of ambiguous blanket policies being handed down from above in our schools today, the teacher may actually have believed that she would have been reprimanded for the child's poem.

Our public education system is up-gefu#t from the top down and I suspect it is very close to being beyond redemption. Teachers, even those who wish to excell, are hindered by policies handed down from mid and upper level management types bureaucrats and lawyers who are more concerned about PC than whether or not kids are learning.

Good luck getting it changed, especially with the folks coming in to Washington in January.

Maybe the kid should have written “Christmas was a religious holiday that we used to celebrate back when America was free; before the Fascists took over, that is.”

Bumpfor Andrew. Proof not being PC is laying up our treasures in heaven. The battle lines have been drawn, the comma Jesus stopped reading in Isaiah is soon going to be in affect....God Bless you Andrew for having more balls than all the anti Christs combined!!

This is on my cars (a magnet) and in my yard (4' tall yard ornament). My KofC council sells them. The yard ornaments are hand made.

Hornsby also coordinated a mailing to all the school’s parents, explaining that students’ religious expression is permitted under federal guidelines.

By what constitutional authority does the federal government limit religious expression?

[tpanther]

Well, that’s because people take their ball and go home and take their kids to private school or homeschool.

Leaving the rest of us to fight not only our battles with godless NEA liberals but theirs too.

What sense does it make to abandon public schools AND pay for them, not to mention the results of brainwashed socialized kids left behind on our society?!

Liberals should be confronted everywhere, and all the time.

[R. Scott]

The assignment was about “Christmas”, not Kwanza, Ramadan or the Winter Solstice. The boy wrote what it meant to him, and received a 100. The teacher was in error and corrected.
