Well looky there.... At what Trump calls it.. I bet liberals love this one LOL
The Promise: "If I become president, we're going to be saying Merry Christmas at every store. You can leave (happy holidays) at the corner. ...Other religions can do what they want.” Update November 29th, 2017: Trump wishes 'Merry Christmas' in annual White House greeting card |

ive never understood how saying merry Christmas was politically incorrect. I realize that "happy holidays" is more inclusive, but neither are politically incorrect.
am i the only one that thinks the whole "war on political correctness " is a non-issue. seems like pandering to the base on an issue with no real consequences either way. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk Last edited by texasnavy05; 12-07-2017 at 08:21 AM. |

ive never heard of a school where students cant say the pledge of allegiance,and nobody can stop me from praying anywhere i want.
School Christmas programs...i honestly wouldnt care about them cancelling all of them. how would you feel about a school making your kid participate in a Hanukkah program? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk |

so basically, you want it to go back to the good ol days when the only religion represented at public places was Christianity.
i would like that as well, but i also realize that this is a nation with religious freedoms, and their is a separation of church and state. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk |

i know you say it's a rabbit hole, but i think you're missing an opportunity to teach me something. yes, ive got opinions, but im always up for learning something new. i understand that Christianity was a big part of our nations beginning. but, even the founding realized the importance of separation of church and state.

I've never thought of happy holidays as not christian, I always thought of it as a catch all for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New years.

I know some school districts have had such a problem they published religious handbooks...it's the loopholes that are the issue...some "groups' look for them to exploit & others don't.

"The student understands the concept of diversity
within unity in Texas. The student is expected to explain how the diversity of Texas is reflected in a variety of cultural activities, celebrations, and performances; describe how people from various racial, ethnic, and religious groups attempt to maintain their cultural heritage while adapting to the larger Texas culture; [and] identify examples of Spanish influence and the influence of other cultures on Texas such as place names, vocabulary, religion, architecture, " Do you think the teachers head would explode if a student explained that there are only three races in the world? |

I looked around a little bit but couldn't find anything about a Texas district who restricted the use of the word Christmas during the holidays. Can you just name the district?

Its not apples to apples, but that is how Nativity scenes got banned -
In 2011, a number of atheists applied for space in what the builders of the Christian-themed scenes believed was an attempt to keep them and other religious groups from installing their displays. The atheists opposed the installation of nativity scenes in a public park, saying it was a violation of the constitutional separation of church and state. Santa Monica city leaders responded by creating a lottery system to hand out space in the park for the displays, and the atheists won most spots. With creators of the nativity scenes and atheists vowing to submit large numbers of applications, city officials decided to prohibit displays in the park. The Santa Monica Nativity Scenes Committee, a group of residents responsible for creating the nativity scenes, sued the city in 2012, accusing it of violating their rights to free speech under the U.S. Constitution. A U.S. District judge later ruled the city had acted with neutrality when it prohibited all displays, prompting the committee to appeal. On Thursday, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court’s judgment and ruled in favor of the city. |

Go Trump!
BTW - If a person doesn't understand "separation of church and state" they simply don't want to. It's not rocket science what they meant. |
