because it is supposedly "offensive to people of other religions who may not celebrate Christmas." they also brought up those celebrate Kwanzaa.
You know, just because you're offended doesn't mean we have to shut up. I might just say it, and, if I am suspended, I won't care. |

| While giving the right to not be offended to others, you inhibit by right to freely speak. |

@Frozen,
It's not about Jesus. It's about being nice for 1 day while all the rest we're edgy asses. |

Supposedly. Nowadays, religion is becoming highly disputed and some groups are doing everything they can to put religion down and dismiss it all as fallacy. |

There is freedom from religion. Separation of church and state because congress may make no law respecting the establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion..
The public schools cannot promote Christianity but parents can celebrate Christmas with their kids. |

Congress may make no law respecting the establishment of a NATIONAL religion. Just corrected you.
I am not by any means advocating the enforcement of religion upon school children, I am saying that banning certain words from being used is utterly ridiculous and infringes upon the rights of the majority, while you give a right to a minority. |

Last year, we weren't allowed to have a Christmas tree in our classroom because of one Jehovah.

That's when I, as a school board leader, would say "Tough luck, we're not forcing you to celebrate, so don't complain."
