Strasbourg, France, Jan 14, 2011 / 02:11 pm (CNA).- A 2011-2012 school calendar published by the European Union has omitted Christian holidays, while continuing to note important Jewish and Muslim celebrations.
The European Union has printed three million copies of the calendar which will be distributed free-of-charge to students who request them.
Former French politician and government minister, Christine Boutin, wrote in her blog Jan. 11 that the calendar leaves out Christianity, “the religion practiced or recognized as forming the cultural assembly of our ‘old’ continent.”
Boutin is a consultant for the Pontifical Council for the Family, as well as president of the Christian Democratic Party in France. She went on to lament that Christianity has “fallen into the limbo of collective ignorance.”
While Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter are missing from the calendar's pages, days commemorating “Sikh Baisakhi-Day, the Jewish Yom Kippur holiday, the Muslim holiday Aid-el-Kebir,” remain in place,” Boutin continued.

Why am I NOT surprised!!??
Have to kill christianity. Or so they think. They have no idea what they are opening the door to.
although the atheist world might want to (LIE) pretend that the holy trinity: God/Christ/HS don’t exist, He doesn’t pretend that His people don’t exist. That is like saying that it is dark outside in the middle of the day.... it doesn’t change the fact that it is light.
the current administration and universe is pretending that evil is good and good is evil.... it is an excercise in futility and an eternal death sentence upon them
[the cultural assembly of our ‘old’ continent]
Away with the old and in with the new......burkas maybe?
We knew this was creeping in but to see things actually put into place is pretty startling. Guess the people all agree over there?
“Have to kill christianity.”
It is interesting to note that this is aimed ONLY at Christians.
Other religions get a pass.
Maybe the wheenies fear that the Muzies might burn Europe.

Muzzies are attacking and threatening the Pope now to
He must ‘shut up’
I see this bringing Protestants and Catholics closer together
The Muzzies have no idea what they have started
Everyone in Europe has no gone soft
And the USA will take them on and kick 0pansy out on his skinny dopehead butt too

New European Union school calendar omits Christian holidays
While Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter are missing from the calendar's pages, days commemorating “Sikh Baisakhi-Day, the Jewish Yom Kippur holiday, the Muslim holiday Aid-el-Kebir,” remain in place,”
That was my point. You kill Christianity and you create a void. The Mohammedans move in and take over. They will burn Europe in the process.
We live in one of the reddest counties in one of the reddest states. Our collectivist and GODLESS government “schools” have “Winter Break”. Christmas no longer exists in these indoctrination camps.
You mean there is no Buddhist holiday, like Vaishaka Day?
Whats wrong with these ignoramuses? They should include EVERY religion of the world! Then they would have at least one day off every week in the year!
Stupid idjits!! LOL.
Seriously. Europe is in deep trouble.
I know, and burning him in effigy. Yes I agree it should bring all Christians closer together because of what we're fighting.
I just can't believe the people have allowed this to happen there but have read Europe isn't very religious anymore. They don't know what they're in for.
This hasn’t come to American schools. At least not yet.

Inactive Catholics in Europe will start reacting as they see the violent Muzzies attacking the Pope
Think about Ireland - Catholics there can get riled up and mucho active - as do the Protestants
Together or apart - they can shut things down El Quicko
Italy is another spot to watch
France is already reacting
Spain - is Spain -
They need to bleed more before they wake up El Cid

That's good to read. What about England? Prince Charles seems to be for the muslims. It still amazes me when I read of prominent people being at ease with islam.
How can anyone believe it a ‘religion of peace’?
It’s not just fear of the Muzzies - Europe’s elite have been hankering for an excuse to push Christianity out of their daily lives - look for it to be illegal to be a Christian (Unless it is a state approved christianity) in the future as that is where it is ultimately heading.
