My kids can no longer celebrate Christmas at school. It's ok for them to talk about Santa, or have a Holiday Party, or acknowledge Kwanzaa or Hanukkah, but it's not ok to talk about Christmas or the birth of Christ.
Does anyone else have an issue with this!!!???
I certainly do not want to be offensive about my religion. And I want people who celebrate Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or some other holiday to be able to be recognized and talk about their belief. I'm not even saying that it's bad to call the parties Holiday Party rather than something else in the spirit of being inclusive. But when my 2nd grader is told that "We don't talk about Christmas or Jesus - we might offend someone." Things have gone WAY TOO FAR!
Since when are we so "politically correct" that we can't mention the name Jesus. After all, he is the reason for Christmas. When you take Christ out of Christmas - you just have Mas. Are you offended because someone says Merry Christmas to you? I wouldn't be offended if someone wished my Happy Ramadan. I would just with them Happy Ramadan back, believing that they were being cheerful in the spirit of their religion.
Well my friends, at the risk of being offensive.....
