Florida School Bans Christmas Colors

From toddstarnes.com - A school in Florida has not only banned Christmas — but everything associated with the Christian holiday. Teachers at Heathrow Elementary School have been ordered to banish images of Santa Claus from classrooms — along with traditional Christmas colors like red and green. “You can’t use red and green,” one outraged parent told WESH. “It’s ridiculous.” The parent, who serves as a volunteer room mother, said she was recently given a list of guidelines that listed the holiday restrictions. She said the basic theme of the letter was, “We don’t want to offend anyone who doesn’t believe in Santa Claus or the Christian beliefs.” The Seminole County School Board has a policy that demands employees must be neutral on religious issues. Schools are not allowed to observe or promote holidays as religious events. The school district says they celebrate the season with a winter theme. A district spokesperson told the television station they haven’t had any parents complain about their “holiday neutral” policy. More here
News New Mexico note - There is no word on whether or not the board is going to revoke all the paid days off that come with the celebration of the birth of Jesus.
