He's Jewish

Granted a lot of the PC Xmas flak is absurd...but some of it in context does seem appropriate at times.

Couldn't disagree with you more. It is an opportunity to discuss different cultures ideals and beliefs with a child. It's what this country is all about....DIVERSITY. Your child's picture is in a christmas tree, his child gets a dreidel, her child colors a Kwaanza picture.... Big freakin deal. Jewish holidays, catholic holidays, african american holidays. There is no force feeding here.

This poor bastard drives a damn bus. He drives the children safely to schoool everyday, part of their daily educational process. Look what nearly happens to this guy......

I mean are you kidding me? This stuff shouldn't even be discussed.

If that was the case wouldn't they be having kids make all sorts of holiday trinkets? To my knowledge it was all about Jesus

My kindergartner made a dreidle and learned the song this season. Public school.
No big deal.


Merry Christmas!

Nice try. The slow systematic deconstruction of everything Christmas ruled out the option of "Christmas crafts" in school long ago. They are now after anything that can be associated with or implied to encompass Christmas.

Sounds to me like it was more about keeping the children busy, teaching motor skills and occupying the time while their parents work rather than a drive-by conversion attempt.

Or a subversive and particulary wicked attempt to undermine my Son's "chosen" status by indoctrinating him with shiny "toy like" games and activities.
