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.

I'm sorry, but what would one expect from the hometown of an elitist, androgynous, cult-driven Ivy League school (Cornell) bereft of moral values or common sense?

"African to cover Kwanza."

Kwanzaa is a made up holiday. It was created in the 1960's by some guy. I forget his name. While I think it's fine that people celebrate it, I find it hilarious that school administrators and pols fall all over themselves to proclaim their love of Kwanzaa. Not many of the Black people I know celebrate it. They celebrate Christmas.
