Fighting back through the courts is the wrong answer. It is over-litigation, the search for a judicial solution to every private wrong, that has brought us to the point where school officials are afraid to have students utter a word about Christmas for fear of a lawsuit. All it takes is informed citizens. Some of the actions mentioned in this article were patently unconstitutional; some were borderline. Parents or other members of the community need to approach the school administrators and state the Constitutional case for why the acts are unconstitutional with proper documentation. Then the administrators would be able to grab some sack and uphold the Constitution. It's the American way.

But the reason that public school administrators are engaging in such foolishness is that it has become Liberal "Conventional Wisdom" that such actions are madated by a non-existant Constitutional right to Freedom from Religion.

Only by establishing case law rulings, all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary, can we get back to the original intent of the First Amendment.

Correct. That is what I stated in #7- School officials have been bludgeoned into submission by this subversive group, who with the complicity of their crony judges, have rewritten the constitution

I'm cynical enought to believe that parental pressure or pressure from the community would not be enough considering the legal precedents from these myriad aclu suits. School officials hands are tied until new cases set new precedents. Therefore, I think the first step is to use the courts. If that isn't effective, then the citizens have the right to achieve justice otherwise.

Absolute correct. But this is not a private wrong. Should a gov't school employee not follow the dictates of his superiors, what do think would be the result? Again, until there is some court decided legal precedent to open a small hole, no gain will be made, much less a score. imo.
