Winter Break

So we’re rapidly approaching one of the real highlights of the school year: Christmas vacation.

OOPS! How could I be so “intolerant”? I mean Winter Break.

Yes, your schools…the organizations that you PAY to educate your children, (supposedly) the way that you, the “owners” want…have excised “Christmas” from their vocabulary. There is no Christmas Pagent; no Christmas lunch; no Christmas vacation.

Those words have been censored from your schools by the very people that we entrust to expose our children to ideas without censorship.

Why did they do this?

Because you let them. It’s really that simple.

It began with Easter vacation. “They” were a bit more subtle then. First, they re-arranged their calendars so that Easter was not the focus…or sometimes, not even included in the vacation. This gave them the justification to say “Well, we call it Spring Break because Easter falls on different days each year and we need consistency.”

And, we sat by and nodded.

Now, over the last 4 or 5 years, Christmas is completely gone. It’s fine to have a big tattoo that says “God is dead” but don’t you dare utter “Merry Christmas” in school!

Is this what we want from our schools? Censorship of our core beliefs under the misguided label of “Tolerance”?

How long do you think it will be before December 25th is not among the days of “Winter Break”?

We need to stop this perilous slide now. Let’s start with bringing back Christmas.

Here's a quick update from Radio Shack. I called the media relations and they assured me that "Christmas" was included in their advertising. Unfortunately they didn't send any links, but I did find one commercial that mentions "Christmas", so I will remove them.

Interestingly as well, searching for "Christmas" on their website yields zero hits, but I did find at least one product (Christmas Karaoke) with "Christmas" in the description. It DID find the same product when I searched for "Karaoke", so I must conclude that their search engine is not all that good.
