I just read a article called “Cancel Christmas, The Government Owns Your School”. If the title wasn’t self explanatory enough this article is about the restrictions being put on public schools for Christmastime. There have been hundreds of reports of the saying, “Merry Christmas” being restricted to “Happy Holidays” which is also a stretch to say in public schools. The public schools want to eliminate any term referring to Christmas in a religious manner. This exact situation happened as Scott McPherson states, “A mother in San Diego was barred from reading a Christmas story to a fourth-grade class and In New York, some school administrators asked teachers to limit holiday decorations to generic messages”. The schools do not want to get rid of Christmas. They just want people to see Christmas as more of a American celebration, but as long as there are Christians in America there will still be a fair amount of upset people over this no long so jolly holiday.
