From the Catholic League News Release...

“Parents in Maine’s Scarborough School District say that efforts to ban Christmas have become so extreme that they now refer to Christmas as the new ‘C-word.’...

...“North Carolinians are no strangers to the ‘C-word,’ either.

At a recent Charlotte-Mecklenberg school meeting of parents, Rose Hamid, who heads a group called Muslim Women of the Carolinas, expressed her enthusiasm for censoring ‘Silent Night’ in the schools. She won."

“Parents in Maine’s Scarborough School District say that efforts to ban Christmas have become so extreme that they now refer to Christmas as the new ‘C-word.’ In nearby New Hampshire, things aren’t any better. For example, the principal of Epping Elementary School boasts that his school raises money for the needy, ‘but we don’t call it a Christmas gift drive,’ and that’s because ‘it’s a time for giving and that’s pretty much universal.’ But if that’s the case, why choose December as the gift-giving month? Similarly, why is December ‘a time for giving’? His counterpart at Newfields Elementary is so wound up about Christmas that he actually said, ‘we’ve tried to distance ourselves from religion and world events.’ No doubt he’s been a smashing success.

“North Carolinians are no strangers to the ‘C-word,’ either. At a recent Charlotte-Mecklenberg school meeting of parents, Rose Hamid, who heads a group called Muslim Women of the Carolinas, expressed her enthusiasm for censoring ‘Silent Night’ in the schools. She won. ‘Joy to the World’ was similarly banned, though apparently the parents were stumped on what to do about ‘Jingle Bells’: some said it was okay, but others were smart enough to say that the song is still linked to Christmas.

Speaking of liberalism....I understand that the ACLU is actually funded by taxpayer dollars...heard it on the Rush Limbaugh show. The fill-in host gave the section of the law which covers this funding.

Time to fight back...

No ulterior motives here! From those wonderful folks who have made televised beheadings so popular.

Ban Christmas? Huh? Look, Christians, it is time to just igore those politically correct fools, and go forward with your celebrations. When it comes election time, vote them out of office! Period.

This isn't liberalism, this is the result of multi-cultered diversity centered living.

That muslim will show you how liberal she is when her crowd gets more power. They will put you into a burka!

Ramadan has also become a popular subject for public school children here in the U.S.

St. Cloud, FL, Concord, CA, Brooklyn, NY, Herndon, VA, Kansas City, Gwinnett County Schools, GA....

Islam promoted at public schools, the word Christmas being banned...

Agenda at work here? No doubt, as evidenced by numerous statements made by leaders of CAIR, etc., publicly stating the desire that America be made into an islamic nation.

I must confess...until today, I had never known this...

I believe the host was Roger Hedgecock, former mayor of San Francisco....

He gave the number of the section of the law that allowed this.

I find Roger to be entirely credible and reliable...I therefore believe this information is true.

Excellent advice! I will do just that. I just finished decorating my home for CHRISTmas, and I've been listening to CHRISTmas music all day long.

Baked CHRISTmas cookies with my Mom & Sister all day on Wednesday. We also listened to CHRISTmas music together!

This weekend I am going to a CHRISTmas celebration in a picture-perfect little town nearby. Carolers out singing, horse drawn buggy rides, CHRISTmas trees decorated in many different themes, a live Creche made up of real people (a live, human Baby JESUS depends upon on the weather, of course!)

If anyone hassles me, I'll just poke 'em with a candy cane that I've sucked to a nasty, razor-sharp point, LOL! That'll teach 'em!

I just now came back from our main building lobby. There is a big "Happy Holidays" sign and underneath it are about 15 or 20 foreign language expressions.

Of the 4 or 5 I could read, none used a word for "holiday".

I'm tempted to add one in Middle English.

That woman certainly appreciates freedom of speech in this country of liberty.

Shame she couldn't be more tolerant of the JudeoChristian philosophy that protects her hate speech.

She should be silenced - but she won't.

Hypocracy!

Sure.....I hate the ACLU and it's way past time to stop them. And if we don't stand up now this won't be our country any more with all this cultural diversity garbage. Inclusion is one thing, letting them take over is another, that includes the libs/socialists/communitist like these school boards, superintendents, principals, teachers etc.

Good for you, Diana! But maybe you should be careful with that candycane point. :)

Yes, Roger is a good man, and the ex-mayor of San Diego. A very good man, very bright and articulate. He is an excellent stand-in for Rush and I always enjoy his presentations.

He eats liberals for breakfast....
