A Tea Party Wants Mandatory Christmas Carols In Public Schools

No, you are incorrect. If you have to face litigation for not doing something it is mandatory. We have a national holiday for Christmas...the little devils aren't even in school. This entire thing is an effort by the teapartiers to get the government to push their agenda.

Well if the Congressional Black Caucus can push an agenda then so can the Congressional White Caucus. No problem.. and so can the Tea Party folks..
Yes...they can. But they cannot make it mandatory that children are exposed in school to religious songs.

they are mandating an option,, don't want your kids to hear about religious songs,,send them to study hall. See? Other people are now tired of your mandating what they can and cannot sing.

Then they also need to provide an option to hear Islamic chants for Ramadan and Jewish chants for any Jewish holiday. Maybe a Buddha in the cafeteria and a sacred cow on the playground. Or face litigation if they do not.
 
So much for that teabagger being for freedom.

Freedom means the FREEDOM to express yourself, you pea brained nitwit.

SUPPRESSION is refusing people the right to do so.

So how is it elminating freedom to allow children the opportunity to sing Christmas carols?

Hey scumbag keep your stupid superstitions out of the public schools, you want to sing to your god do so in your church you steaming pile of dog shit.

Some of you need to read the actual proposition before you spout off.
 
Ugh, who wants to be punished by having to sing christmas music anyway? I am so sick of christmas music by the time xmas rolls around, that I want to rip off my arm and throw it at someone. SO annoying hearing the same 7 or 8 songs over and over and over and over. Torture.
 
Who is stopping the kids from singing carols now? Looks like the crazy cons want to take time out of the school day for the kids to sing these fairy tale songs, school is for reading and writing, kids can sing on their own time.

lol...that is not what this inititiave is about and lmao that you don't mind they are exposed to the religious holiday and have the religious off....but oh lordy, can't talk about it or sing about it

Christmas is a winter solistice holiday which has been MOSTLY co-opted byt the Christians.

Santa is Christian? Seems more like a socialist to me.
The Christmas tree is Christian?

I recommend everyone watch "The History of Christmas" on the history channel when the opportunity permits.

i know all of this and agree with you....however, it is irrelevant as it is now a religious holiday, so in terms of speaking solely about the issue in this thread, do you accept the fact it is a religious holiday?

It doesn't matter. National holidays aren't mandatory to observe.

Congress can make no law, etc. If you mandate exposure to one religion you must mandate exposure to all.

This, and we all know that won't happen. The second that anyone offers to make even the most simple lesson about Islam, many parents will flip the fuck out.

The title thread is not dishonest. (Not saying this to you Ravi)

The schools will face punishment if they do not fulfill this proposed requirement. That makes it mandatory in the schools.

Merry Hyatt, Tea Party Patriot, Wants Mandatory Christmas Carols In Public Schools

It's called the "Freedom to Present Christmas Music in Public School Classrooms or Assemblies" initiative.

Merry Hyatt, a substitute teacher and member of the Redding Tea Party Patriots, is behind the push. The Record Searchlight reports:

The initiative would require schools to provide children the opportunity to listen to or perform Christmas carols, and would subject the schools to litigation if the rule isn't followed.

Schools currently are allowed to offer Christmas music as long as it is used for academic purposes rather than devotional purposes and isn't used to promote a particular religious belief, according to an analysis by the California Legislative Analyst's Office.

Parents are allowed to have their students opt out of the caroling if they express that desire in advance.

The initiative has the support of the local Tea Party Patriots president.

Isn't the Tea Parties purpose suppose to be limited Government, not having the Government control our lives, etc. Doesn't this go directly against that?

Sounds like to me more people using the whole concept of "tea parties" to further their own agenda. Thoughts?

It sounds like, to me, another lame attempt by the partisan huffington post to discredit tea party people....combined with someone trying to use the tea party momentum to their advantage.

Here's one tea party type who wants to tar and feather this moron who passed the initiative and ariana huffington at the same time.

Maybe harry reid too :D That bonehead isn't worth the tar.

Keep the damn Indoctrination out of school. My goodness, you do realize that not every Christmas Carol is religious correct?

I'd be lying if I said I can stand Ariana's voice with that accent. :lol:

And tarring Reid would be a waste of taxpayers money. :eusa_whistle:
 
wrong....the title says "mandatory christmas carols"....that is a lie...it wants the opportunity....

given that christmas is a national holiday, your point about voodoo songs is irrelevant....we have an entire christmas holiday, a season....yet people can't sing carols about christmas and somehow allowing them the opportunity is making mandatory.....weird
No, you are incorrect. If you have to face litigation for not doing something it is mandatory. We have a national holiday for Christmas...the little devils aren't even in school. This entire thing is an effort by the teapartiers to get the government to push their agenda.

do you really not understand the difference between mandating an opportunity vs. mandating a required action? they are not mandating that everyone has to sing christmas carols, they are only mandating the opportunity. if no one wants the christmas carols at that school, guess what, no christmas carols....

think about ravi....restaurants are mandated to have handicap access, such as ramps, that doesn't mean they have to force everyone to use the handicap access, only that they have to provide the opportunity of the access, they can provide other means of entrance into their establishment....or do you really believe that means that restaurants have to force everyone to use the handicap access?

Are you really comparing Christians to handicapped people?

Damn that gives a new light to the phrase " if a cripple needs a crutch do you kick it out from underneath them?"
 
Heres the rules people..

The right wing says we are required to sing about Christ in schools but are not allowed to sing about the President

Easy isn't it?

Keep the damn Indoctrination out of school. My goodness, you do realize that not every Christmas Carol is religious correct?

people are tired of the lunatic left dictating all the terms.. yes I do realize that.. so what's yer point?
 
Man ... I remember singing XMas carols in elementary school and it being fun ... we had a couple of Jewish kids in my grade we got draddles and sang the draddle song ... nobody cared.

I miss the 80's
