You know, when I went to school we had
Christmas break and Easter break. No one died. No one
self-combusted, and life went on. My parents had the same names for the
holidays, as did my grandparents. So why was it perfectly constitutional
and even acceptable in 1950 and 1980, but in 2003 it's all of a sudden a great
big problem. This concentrated attempt to take religious _expression_
completely out of public life is going to come back and bite this nation in the
butt.

Calendar Conundrum
School officials in Sarasota County, Fla., are pushing a new all-secular holiday calendar for district schools in order to avoid appearing insensitive to people of certain faiths, reports the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
Because of the diversity of faiths in the community, recognizing the holy days of all religions would put the school system in a bind so school officials have opted to get rid of 'em all.
