These people pop up throughout history at certain times. They are the result of the break down of civilized society where these spoiled classes of people have been sheltered from the realities of nature.

Fact is, if it were not for such civilized society, nature would have purged these people quite quickly.

How can seeing Santa dressed up offend students? His role is one of generosity and goodwill.

Because there are people who do nothing but play identity politics in their attempts to gain power, thus impose what they think should occur.

That means turning Santa into a symbol of oppression and intolerance.

Agreed, that was stupid.


In some countries, Santa is an allegory for Jesus and the gift of salvation, but not in the U.S.

If this is a public school, good. All you righties in here stop bitching. You're kids are in school to learn not celebrate holidays. Take religion all the way out of school and any public forum. Do your thing at home or private places. Hell, i'll even concede the whole mayor lighting Christmas tree thing. But this stuff doesn't need to be in schools. Stop bitching.

*Shrug*.

I know people that are retirement age that recall certain key events in their life at young ages that set their minds on certain topics.

I'd imagine that many kids having their class Christmas party etc. yanked away because it was "offensive" are going to carry that lesson with them into adulthood.

Seriously people? Like there is a lack of christmas decorations? Please, the ads start in September. The decorations start going up in October, along with store decorations & sales. Salvation Army bell ringers start the first day of November & that's when two radio stations start in w/the nonstop christmas music. Like kids are missing out on christmas if the school doesn't have decorations? Give it a rest.

Santa Claus is part of secularization of Christmas. These schools have no business referring to themselves as institutions of learning if their collective brain power is so low they can't figure out that Santa Claus was not a part of the Christian liturgical feast of Christmas.

Valentines Day in the United States originates from the Catholic Church too.

So does Mardi Gras in New Orleans. All of these things including Easter have been secularized. None of them promote Christ or Christianity.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_Day

Quote:
Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine,[1] is an annual holiday celebrated on February 14. It originated as a Western Christian liturgical feast day honoring one or more early saints named Valentinus, and is recognized as a significant cultural and commercial celebration in many regions around the world, although it is not a public holiday in any country.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mardi_Gras

Quote:
Mardi Gras (/ˈmɑːrdiɡrɑː/), also called Shrove Tuesday,[1] or Fat Tuesday,[2][3][4][5] in English, refers to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after the Christian feasts of the Epiphany (Three Kings Day) and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday", reflecting the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season.
So, get rid of Valentines Day in schools too.

Shut down Mardi Gras in New Orleans (and consequently the money the city and business make from it).

But given how sexually addicted people are I doubt they well attack Valentines Day (Conservative Hindus in India have though, destroying shops selling Valentines Day cards, as promoting sexual vice). Or the bare breasted celebration of Mardi Gras with drunk patrons flooding streets.
