... and will no doubt lead to disciplinary action of the principle.

"Merry Christmas to all!"

The principal has overstepped his bounds and will likely be reigned in very quickly by the school district attorneys. -
I spose it would be okay to say Merry Xmas. The atheists call us Xians. :(
Seems some people only have use for Christ when His Name is used as a swear word. -
I think x-mas is a good thing, if you read it properly. Some scholar hop in here and explain what it means, cuz I don't remember, lol. Someone told me last year.

Why don't morons like this hit Halloween first? Our school was flooded with decorations, lesson plans were based around it for weeks, art was about it every day, it was ridiculous! I haven't seen anything related to Christmas so far this year, except the Santa shop fundraiser, where they take all the kids to the Santa shop and let them pick out presents for their family then send you the bill. If you don't send the money the kids don't get the stuff and they throw a fit. REALLY ticked me off last year because I had no clue they would do something like that!
Sorry, went off topic just a little, lol. But that really ticked me off!

I suppose next the schools won't take off for the Christmas holiday. :rolleyes:

The "X" is actually the Greek letter "chi" which is shorthand for "Xristos" ("Christ" in Greek).
Abbreviating "Christ" as "X" is a historically Christian thing, not an athiest thing. -
Thank you Baptist Believer.

What can we do to get Christ back into Christmas, in our schools? I was at my son's Christmas program at his school, and not one song they sang was about the birth of Jesus. They were all about Santa. I'm looking for ideas to help with our schools.

Rick, donate the music. If you have a child willing to do a solo choose a song with him you'd like done and ask the music teacher if she would let him sing it.
Try not to get into the politics of it or they'll get all defensive. However, if he is told he can but must change the song THEN you can play the discrimination card.

Have they banned the words Ramadan and Chanakuh(?) also?

Color me embarrassed for jumping to conclusions. :rolleyes: :D -

For the last 2 years my local Infants School play has been a mickey taking event.... last year they had the "Wise men" talking to each other and saying "shall we give Him a pair of socks?" and this year they had the little ones singing Happy Birthday Jesus..... Most of the mothers etc. were beaming at the rubbish which the children were saying/singing on both occasions. If they must have these "Nativity " plays, why can`t they do them with some reverence. I voiced my opinion, and am probably known as an old fusspot, as the reaction I had was not favourable, it seems like entertainment is the idea, and not truth.

I don't have a problem with dramatized, modernized, and even humorous, nativity plays, specifically those in the young child age level.
My church has a christmas pageant, and there are three kings named Balthazar, Melchior, and Caspar, all three of which are fictional characters.

Marty: I applaude you for teaching your little one the correct verses of Christmas songs. Read 2 Tim. 3:13. It states that evil men shall get worse in the end times. I believe we are there when Christ is taken out of Christmas.
Merry Christmas to All,
Rick
