I was walking my dogs past the local elementary school the other day — some kind of program was going on. All of the classrooms were lit up like — well, Christmas trees — BUT, there were none.
I noticed that there wasn’t a single Christmas decoration in even one classroom. Not a one! I checked at least 12 rooms, including the kindergarten rooms — no Christmas tree, no pictures of Santa, no wreaths, no garlands. NOTHING.
How things have changed! I remember decorating contests, singing carols, Christmas trees in every room, lights up.
A sterile and Godless society indeed. Wonder if even mentioning Christmas could get teachers suspended or fired.
Put it up for a national Referendum and lets see how many Christians are left in this country.
my nephews school is having their “Christmas/Winter Party” this Friday
Sterile indeed.
We’re screwed....

Depends on the school. I have taught in the fourth largest public school district in the nation for 25 years. I have seen the whole gamut. In certain well to do areas you can get sued or fired if you dare to discuss Jesus Christ in nearly any context (thankfully world history has him as part of the text material and a savvy teacher can often skirt the edges...) whereas when I taught in the inner city high schools before the start of the school year it was standard for the principal to bring in several local ministers for a pre-opening of schools prayer breakfast. They would pray in the name of Jesus. Also in those schools, it was common for my students to complete their assignments for me and whip out a Bible to have a little Bible study with a few friends. As long as they stayed quiet(not disruptive to the class), I had no issue. Down in the high income areas, students who tried that had their Bibles confiscated and the teacher was reprimanded. I loved being in the inncer city, except for the thugs and arms race between gangs. The good kids were always very devout. It was just important that you know the differences between cover and concealment on your way to your car in the parking lot.
We are ahead now.....I think someone got the no’s voting:o)
