"Well, I'm all for that plan, and I actually have made the same argument. But as long as others (like the people I was making the argument to) feel slighted by having to celebrate it, I just don't think we're there yet." - aldenoneil

"That's what I'm saying, though: there is no other way to see it. It's a religious holiday. It's right in the name. And by "kids," I assume you mean Christian kids or kids who don't mind practicing (just occasionally, when forced to because everybody else is) the dominant religion in this country. Because to some kids the idea of shutting up and celebrating the birth of someone else's God in a setting that's supposed to be free of religious favoritism may not be a fun one." - aldenoneil

""All of it had fuck-all to do with religion, even if some of the songs mentioned Jesus or whatever else." That's the clincher. Even if you regard it as a secular holiday, it's definitively not, and therefore has no place being celebrated in a public school." - aldenoneil
