what are you talking about? You were the one who called Dreidel Dreidel a Hanukhah song.....
I have said that I don't think that any religion has a place in public schools unless it is taught in a comparative religion class.
When will YOU tell me how a school calling december vacation Winter vacation instead of Christmas vacation RUINS the Holiday?
Well, I overlooked anothe holiday libs are attacking - which destroys your talking points
Fox News reports that Maryland educators have such a fear of anything religious that they have begun rewriting history to remove any references to faith in the classroom -- beginning with Thanksgiving:
Young students across the state read stories about the Pilgrims (search) and Native Americans, simulate Mayflower (search) voyages, hold mock feasts and learn about the famous meal that temporarily allied two very different groups.
But what teachers don't mention when they describe the feast is that the Pilgrims not only thanked the Native Americans for their peaceful three-day indulgence, but repeatedly thanked God.
"We teach about Thanksgiving from a purely historical perspective, not from a religious perspective," said Charles Ridgell, St. Mary's County Public Schools curriculum and instruction director. School administrators statewide agree, saying religion never coincides with how they teach Thanksgiving to students.
