Reply #9: Um...I thought "Christmas" was a national holiday [View All]

[kevinbgoode]

and, in fact, all the public schools are on winter break over that day. So why would we...should we be celebrating a holiday in the public schools when the schools are closed on that day...and usually that week..anyway? Talk about hypocrisy - these people demand schools stop celebrating Halloween, for example, ON Halloween, but demand we accommodate their religious "celebration" in the public schools when the schools are not even OPEN on their sacred holiday. What the hell is up with that crapola?

Why should any public venue be forced to celebrate a holiday whenever the christo-fascists demand it. . .the government has already endorsed the day by declaring it a national holiday. As such, they should have no beef with institutions which are CLOSED in recognition of that day and should not demand that schools sanction celebrations two or three or four weeks before the holiday.
