Fox News War on Christmas: Makes S*** up about local elementary school...

Apparently, the school had a holiday card tree for the staff and simply moved it to another room. The nut cases claimed it was part of the war on Christmas and called the local Fox TV station who ran with the story (without checking it out).

"BULLOCH COUNTY, GA -
The Bulloch Co. School District is fighting back after they say a false news report was filed by a Fox News Radio commentator about Brooklet Elementary confiscating Christmas cards. The article alleges the teachers' cards were removed by administrators as an act of censorship as the Bulloch County Board of Education is having ongoing conversations about religious expression in schools.

The Principal of Brooklet, Marlin Baker, said that is not the case. Baker said it's a faculty tradition to hang staff Christmas cards up on a poster. Usually the poster hangs out in the hallway for students to see but Baker said one of the teachers had a privacy issue so the poster was moved into the faculty work room. School staff said when the poster was moved on Monday that it didn't even have any Christmas cards on it."
