Arizona school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project

I didn't know school officials had judicial power.

The war you're talking about is the war for the almighty retail dollar.

Let me know when they start locking up folks celebrating Christmas.

Any time anyone wishes me "Happy Holidays", I answer cheerily with "Merry Christmas!" (Unless the person is wearing a Star of David, in which case my response is "Happy Hannukkah!")

My small contribution to the war effort.

"Arizona school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project"

You wonder how many years of therapy kids will be in because this is could lower their self esteem.

Ask these "Christmas haters" if they plan to go to work
on Dec. 25. If you hate it that much, just go into your
office and make like it's another workday. (I don't mean
the folks like police, fire, etc. who often are forced
to work the holiday... I mean that guy or gal in your
office who gets all hot and bothered when you wish them
a Merry Christmas. Ask them if they plan to volunteer to
work on Dec. 25--straight time.)

How on earth can you discuss Christmas without referring to religious history? Impossible.

I'll bet the discussion of that fake 40 year old holiday,Kwanzaa,is okay though.

I'm not overly religious but this stuff makes me MAD!!!!!

If you mention Christmas or Christ-anything, the ACLU has a fit and sues the school.

Here we go again...

These anti-Christmas people are mentally ill.

They need professional help. As with all insane lunatics.

I am not a "Christmas hater" but I always volunteered to be "on call" and to perform backups, routine system work, upgrades, maintenance etc. on Christmas day.

Everytime they advertise a "Holiday Sale" we should call the retailers and jam their lines and ask "What holiday?"

Until we all wise up and stop spending money during the Christmas season the retailers could care less what it is called.

And we are all guilty of the overspending.

Let's put Christ back in Christmas for heaven's sake.

Right, and that's good, but I'm just saying a lot of the people who denounce Christmas do plan to take the day off
(most employers are closed anyway, they'll just say)

Is it that time of year again?

Got to love the Scrooges, they come out earlier every year.
