From my second link, donât think some arenât trying, even with Santa Claus
Santa Claus. In early December, taxpayer-funded officials in the Hillsboro, Oregon school district banned imagery of Santa Claus because âimages and artifactsâ âlike Santa Clausâ create insufficiently âinclusive and welcoming spaces.â (RELATED: Taxpayer-Funded School District Bans SANTA CLAUS âTo Create Inclusive And Welcoming Spacesâ)
Kona Lew-Williams, the human resources director in the suburban Portland school district, sent a 282-word memo to employees concerning the ban. âWe ask that you be respectful and sensitive to the diverse perspectives and beliefs of our community and refrain from using religious-themed decorations or images like Santa Claus,â Lew-Williams wrote. A âwinter wonderlandâ theme, or perhaps a celebration âof the amazing people in your departmentâ would be much better, she pontificated.
After local parents responded very negatively to the Santa Claus ban, the Hillsboro school district took to its Facebook page to swear that Santa was not prohibited. The memo was merely a reminder âthat we need to create inclusive and welcoming spaces for all of our students.â

No one is trying to remove Christmas, except from government/public property and spaces. Not Santa Christmas, either, just religious Christmas.One? How many lawsuits have been brought trying to remove anything to do with Christmas. Christmas in this country has been celebrated with traditions such as the phrase Merry Christmas, nativity scenes, Christmas music, lights or candles, the cross, etc. for centuries, yet the aclu and the freedom from religion foundation sue everyone they can, to take away that right, and unless people have the money to fight these lawsuits, they have to give in to their whims.

Six Things Banned For Christmas In America In 2016
Why do you guys need to turn everything into a war, though? One August West in the neighborhood and you're crying victim hood and saintly defense of God and all kinds of stuff to make you feel more righteous.Yet youâll claim there is no war on Christmas traditions in this country...
Chill out. No one ever ruined my Christmas spirit or celebration by wishing me a happy holiday or making me wait until I got home to enjoy the creche and my tree. Why would such a thing affect you?
A couple of years ago, there was a Maine school that decided to ban a teacher's Hello Kitty Christmas tree from her English classroom. She had been bringing it in for years. No one ever objected, but a new superintendent determined that there should be no Christmas trees.
It was all over the front page of the papers and there was such an uproar that within a week the tree was back in her classroom and I've got the strong feeling that superintendent was not superintendent for very long.
What an asshole.
My point being, that one overly zealous fruitcake will be shut down, just as it appears this one in your article was, by reasonable people who still have a mind. Why must you exaggerate and turn it into a war? I am still waiting for why you are borrowing trouble here?
My Lady, you jest!
It could not be clearer their motivation; partisan incitement.
They are rewarded at some level.
