MRIW #3

Just when i thought it might be hard to find something for my Most Ridiculous Item of the Week post, low and behold, someone from the field of public education steps up to make my job a lot easier.
Apparently the Plano Independent School District of Plano, TX has not only banned students from exchanging candy canes from their elementary schools due to the Christian heritage behind them, they have also put a stop to students writing "Merry Christmas" on cards being sent to soldiers overseas (Christmas cards no less). But wait, it doesn't stop there, no no no...remember, they say everything is bigger in Texas. Apparenlty idiocy is also.
The traditional Christmas colors of RED and GREEN have also been banned at school holiday parties due to the fact they represent that "evil" holiday that Christians celebrate to rejoice in the incarnation of Christ. The preferred color is white since it is merely a "winter party" to celebrate the winter break. Once again for those of you in the religion department at Baylor who may be reading this, the colors of RED and GREEN have been banned from this school's holiday celebration because of representing Christmas.

What are these people smoking? Have they fallen so hard for this made up "seperation of church and state" that we have been fed by the ACLU and the like for so long that they have lost all sense of reality. BTW, for those of you at Harvard Law School, if you actually read the constitution you will see an establishment clause that says the government will not establish a state run religion and all peolpe will have the freedom to worship freely, nothing about "seperation of church and state". It would seem to me that if the First Amendment was being violated, it is because we Christians are being forced into a closet and out of the public arena.

The Alliance Defense Fund and the Liberty Legal Institute (both of which do far more good than the ACLU ever did, and without using my tax money!) have filed suit against these morons running the Plano Independent School District. In the meantime, for parents who are in Plano, i suggest a good Christian academy or home schooling.

God bless the USA and MERRY CHRISTMAS! Rejoice in the coming of our Lord and Savior!
