As loyal readers of Free Republic already know, Ithaca grades its students in school on "sensitivity to other cultures," etc.
Apparently, when it comes to Christianity they cannot practice what they preach.
No surpise there, as Ithaca is the City of Evil.

I go to church with several folks who had moved here (Raleigh, NC) from Ithaca. They ALL tell me that Ithaca is a "spiritual black-hole". I believe it.

Multiculturism means acceptance of other cultures, not your own.

Ithaca is the City of Evil.You should distinguish more carefully between evil and stupidity. You have to be intelligent to be evil.

I've been in Ithaca a couple times and am amazed that what seems like a picturesque little upstate college town should turn out to be a haven for fascist zealots. There is no reason for these leftist gestapo types to trample on a child's Christmas except pure unadulterated evil.
At my daughter's primary school here in Ohio the parents were invited to a holiday party during which the children in two classes sang Christmas carols. These included all the standards referring to Christ as our saviour and the Son of G*d. Hannukah had already passed, but they also threw in the dredel song along with something African to cover Kwanza. It was very nice and, as far as I could tell, no one there or elsewhere in the school or community had any objections to the song selections. I'm not going to name the district as I'm sure there are pinheads from the ACLU who lurk here, but the point is that there are remaining islands of sanity out there and I'm thankful to be living in one.
It remains a mystery to me how the plain phrase "free exercise of" is so unintelligible to socialists. There will have to come a time when the Constitution is enforced as it is written, or those who now ignore and lie about its meaning are forced to lay their true motives bare. A recurring historic theme of the last century was the rise and eventual destruction by free peoples of fascism in all its forms (Nazi, Communist, el al). The same struggle goes on, this time in our own towns and communities.

Sounds like lawsuit time to me. With the right lawyer, that school district could end up financing the kid's college education.

But don't you see, this book would have offended the Muslim students on their way to their special prayer chapels.

I just really don't know how you take it. And I live in L.A.

He knows he should accept diversity and be tolerant of those whose beliefs differ from his. He feels the school's actions towards Christmas are completely the opposite of the values being taught there. Even the young socialists in training are choking on the inconsistencies of socialism.
The answer of course is to totally defund public schooling.

Demand that all the schools stay open during the christmas holidays and that all the teachers are in the classroom teaching an Christmas morning. All the students can stay home and celebrate the holiday.

It was a short story about Santa Claus and a magic mirror. This is amazing!
It used to be they were trying to keep Christ out of Christmas. Now they are even trying to keep poor, ole fairy-tale Santa Claus out! So much for "diversity" from the Diversity Crowd. They are even banning the secular substitute for Christ, which is doubly stupid, if you ask me (but much less eternally lethal)! Pretty soon they'll have everybody mad at them, not just God - although He should be more than enough.
Liberals are really evil. One doesn't have to travel to Ithaca to see it, but it sure should make it clear for a 3rd grader who is trapped in a government school. No doubt he is a future FReeper!
