In my school you can't say/write Merry Christmas because it's a religious holiday. Plus you have Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. You can even get a detention. I was just wondering if other peoples' schools are this strict.

Moved to School for obvious reasons.
 No, I can't say they are. Christmas, although having "Christ" in the name, isn't really even considered a religious holiday these days. Only to those who are actually religious. Personally, I think your school is taking the wrong road. Instead of banning everyone from saying things like Merry Christmas, etc. they should allow them all. That way, everyone gets to say what pertains to their religion. If someone wants to say merry Christmas, they should be able to. Those who want to say Happy Hanukkah should be able to. Happy whatever, it should all be accepted. That makes it fair. And if they really want to get into it, decorate the halls with every holiday saying. Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Does that even exist anymore? -_-' |
