I wonder how some of you would feel if the schools and school teachers suddenly came to embrace your very narrowly focused point of view; and then proceeded to teach students the real 'meaning' of Christmas. What if those same schools and same school teachers then proceeded to teach that we put Christ back in Christmas and take Santa Claus out? What if your first and second graders were suddenly being told by their public school teachers that their parents have not been telling them the truth, and that there is no Santa Claus? Would those same parents thus abide the real teaching of Christianity in our schools?
We say we want our schools and teachers to teach our kids the truth. But the question remains: Who's Truth? And Which Truth?
From my reading of the Bible, I can find no references whatsoever to Santa Claus, reindeer, the North Pole, red and/or green decorations, Christmas trees nor Christmas lights, Christmas cards nor Christmas parties, nor holiday shopping.
Again, am I missing something here in your arguments?

Edited by the Cracker because it was inappropriate for a 9 year old staying home from school sick..... Or any other 9 year old for that matter.

From the forum policies:
"Don't write anything you wouldn't want a 9 year old staying home from school sick to read."
AHEM.....!!!
Was that a pretty good imitation of ol' SMS??? ♥♥♥

Macca, I suppose that begs the question of whether or not Jesus Christ and Santa Claus are mutually exclusive in biblical teachings?
The "problem" with the argument being made and espoused by some is that you can't have it both ways!
The Bible of Christianity teaches us one Christmas lesson which is clearly at odds with the confused obfuscated lessons of our cultural mercenaries.

I think parents would be happier if all beliefs were included instead of the exclusion that they thought was going on at Stokesdale. If others have different beliefs celebrate those beliefs too!
And I don't know about Stokesdale, but the holidays were approached in a very "clinical" fashion at the schools I've been involved in. There was never any discussion of what the colors of the candy cane represented, but it was talked about as more of a tradition that we eat candy canes at Christmas time. If there was a kid who ate something else as a part of his/her religion, then that of course was welcomed into the classroom as well.

| I guess I have some doubts about how "inclusive" these parents are willing to be..... Are they willing for their children to be taught about the Muslim faith? What if there are Wiccans in our community? Will they be allowed to come in and share their story? We can all be generous about being "inclusive" when we assume that all that's REALLY going to be shared is stuff we are all comfortable with.....♥♥♥

Yeah, maybe we should request that this discussion of religion be moved to a new category??? ♥♥♥

Macca, Thanks. Please recall that my comments were posed in the form of a question and not in the form of a statement.
By the way, I am working on my personal Christmas wish list to send to Santa this rainy afternoon. By any chance, does anyone have his mailing address and know what kind of stamp I need to use? (Macca, I did mention in my letter to Santa that you have been "good" all year!)

ooooohhhhhh very good points macca.
I wouldn't start a new religion thread. It's sorta like the political forum. Once you've voiced your opinion, there isn't much more to say.
