I personly see no way that Christmas or any other holiday could be "POLITICLY" correct or incorrect. THey are a celebration of people's beliefs, and are we not entitled to freedom of religion? Which means the right to celebrate holidays supporting our beliefs.

No but in schools and other places the holidays of other religions should also be celebrated.

Blind,

I realize that you are British my friend.

Yet do you realize that little children in this Country used to learn how to read by reading the Bible? In little one room schoolhouses.

This political corectness is a result of Moral relativism. It is a recent development in this country. Some people are quite fed up with it. Thus our recent election. It has gone from respect for other religions and persons to out and out persecution of the Christian faith. Incrementalism is at hand.

This Nation is founded on Judeo/Christian beliefs. The Bible. To have Christmas and other Christian symbolism removed from the public display is an oxymoron.

My Pastor has a hand painted picture in his office. It is the Continental Congress on their faces before the Lord. Asking His divine Providence over this Newly forming Nation.

Oh' for those Blessed days to be before us again?

Peace,

Dave

I have never been nor will I ever be "politically correct", so this question does not effect me whatsoever.

In Texas, a teacher discontinued all Christmas celebrations in her classroom and substituted the celebration of Kwanzaa, during which first-graders were taught to worship their ancestors.

In Pennsylvania, a principal told a public high-school teacher that he could not include religious music in the annual Christmas concert. When the teacher protested, he nearly lost his job.

In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Bible club students were told they could not distribute candy canes to classmates because the candy package included an explanation of the religious origins of the candy cane.

In Illinois, a fourth-grader who enjoyed hearing her public-school teacher read a book about the origins of Hanukkah was told that the teacher would not read a book about the origins of Christmas.

In Texas, a first-grader was informed he could not mention Jesus during a class discussion on the origins of Christmas.

In Tennessee, teachers were told they could not include any religious material in a general holiday decorating theme in their classrooms.

It's simply amazing that many of our nation's public schools, which once wholly embraced biblical ideals, now have policies that prevent the most elementary allusion to God.

It's no wonder Junior can't read. Many of our schools have become havens of politically correct schemes that focus on diversity (unless you're a Christian) and forego standards that once ensured that our kids were being properly educated. -WorldNetDaily
