How true. We need Santas to fuel kids' greed for the latest/greatest toys and gadgets. God forbid (oops....................sorry...................I actually said "God") that we remind the kids what Christmas really is. Why, that is despicable. I'd rather see them thumbing through Abercrombie & Fitch catalogs than the dreaded Bible.

We really don't celebrate Christmas in the United States anymore. We are fully in a post-Christian era. All that remains is this pseudo christmas full of secular fluff.
Really, do the easter bunny and santa clause or christmas trees or even material gifting have anything to do with the celebration of God's mission, sending Jesus Christ, His Son, to atone for our sins?

School officials are divided over whether that made him a bad Santa, but the A-C-L-U says he clearly violated the separation of church and state.

Rational people say the ACLU clearly doesn't know what it's talking about since Santa talking about Christmas isn't a church and a public school isn't a state.

Isn't there any Conservative law groups that take on the ACLU?

Do the letters ACLU now stand for Anti-Christian Leftist Union?

I suppose their next step is to remove Santa from their "Winter Holidays" because his name is derived from Saint Nicholas.

The "Red Scare" continues. No, it's not the commies anymore, but Santa Claus. The Red Diaper Babies of the ACLU have turned the tables and are now after Santa, Jesus, Joseph and Mary. Allah be praised.

Given that the "Santa" image is undoubtedly derivative of the "little red man" (an alkaloid found in amanita muscaria) who mediated the spiritual experience of the Saami shaman, it would be difficult to figure out which side the ACLU was favoring here.

I've always suspected they were a bunch of dopers, but now they seem to have stepped off the planet completely.

Hide your stash! It's Xmas and they're loose!

But it is not against the law to discuss the Nativity with children at Christmas. It is just as valid as discussing any and all other cultural events celebrated by our divese population.

What you have to understand is that this is not the norm for Kansas..
Baldwin used to be a quiet farm town with strong conservitive and religious roots. However, in the last 15 years it has become a commuter community for Lawrence (San Fransisco of the Midwest, home of K(gay)U) and Johnson County (Kansas City). Where once kids were dropped off at school by bus and parents driving pickup trucks, there are now soccer moms in SUVs and minivans. $250,000 homes are to be found just north of town and along with the property values, the liberal tide is rising. I'm afraid to say that yet another bastion of conservitive America is slowly sliding beneath the encroaching puddle of sewage that is the New Age / Liberal / socialist model for our nation...

Rant over...

Of course I'm sure that everybody here would be thrilled if somebody went to a public school and urged the kids to look into Islamic resources.

How about we just don't have adults come into schools to instruct other people's kids in religous matters.

What? Not a peep out of them about kids being taught Islam, fasting, and planning jihads in school?

Can we press charges against the ACLU with the Anti-American Activities Committee?

but the A-C-L-U says he clearly violated the separation of church and state.

There's that gosh darn "separation of church and state" reference being made by the ACLU again. As many times as I've checked the U.S. Constitution, I've failed to find this phrase listed anywhere in it.

I would like to ask the A-C-L-U just what exactly is the meaning of CHRISTmas, then?
