This country has been a BAD DREAM(more like NIGHTMARE) since Election Day 1988. Will I EVER wake up and find out that President Reagan is STILL in office.

“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end.”

If it was my kid’s school, my children would demand to wear green and red each day PLUS jingle bell earrings and anything else you could think of. Of course, I am raising hooligan radicals.

No red and green for Christmas, means no Hannukah blue and gold also, right?

Right?

They didn’t ban green or red colors according to one of the comments. They are going to have a winter theme, however.

Christmas is the most important time of the year for atheists.

Pray for America

Does this outlaw fire extinguishers and live plants in the school? Heaven forbid the kids draw a firetruck!

By banning certain colors, somebody’s radiating DUMB in Floriduh.

Seriously...who is offended by Christmas?

And who is not offended by this and similar policies?

Red and green are “Christmas colors”. Did they ban the Mexican flag? Some kid should put a picture of Jesus on a Mexican flag, wrap it around him and wear it to school. The school officials would have to call a special meeting to decide what to do.

Ask the school officials if they should ban any Muslim students attending from praying. See what would happen if they did.

Parents, etc. should go to the school and say “by banning Christmas you are offending ME.” Tolerance means tolerating any religion—other than perhaps when people crash planes into buildings to praise Allah, THAT is a bit too far. What happened to multi-culturalism? Aren’t we supposed to be teaching kids about this big world of ours?

Go to the teacher and say, “I don’t want you talking about global warming. My son and I are very offended by it.”
(For that matter, Mr. Gore’s beliefs have pretty much turned into a religion too)

Or how about this: Tell them you don’t want a gay-straight alliance to meet on school grounds. Tell them you are
offended. See what the reaction is.

Just sayin’.

Just think what message it sends to Christian children when school authorities treat their cultural beliefs in this way ... to even stigmatize the colors Green and Red?

and no, I do NOT believe the school did not convey this “banned color” message to the teachers, no matter what they say now that they’ve been exposed

and just how many other cultural beliefs are hidden under a bushel by the school systems, so no one is offended by them?

Red and green are not just Christmas colors. Let see what red and green are colors for.
Red-Communism
Green-Environmental Wackos, Islamists

Red and green is often a color for radical leftists.

*It’s almost as if I’m having a bad dream, and soon I’ll wake up and America will still be like it was when I was a kid.
The Left laughs at the nightmare scenario of “Red Nightmare”, a Twilight Zone-like short film narrated by Jack Webb from the 1960s.

Churches being turned into state museums, children going off to indoctrination centers to deprogram the messages they get at home, etc.

“As if America could ever go Commie...”*

If 0bama gets reelected, that is probably about 4 years off.

I smell a follower of the Pedophile Prophet, or a member of Barry's homosexual atheist peer group at the Anti-Christ Legion Union.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Does that mean that the school will ban Canadians and all reference to Canada because they had the Red/Green show?

Does that mean they'll also ban duct tape?
