[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2661896, member: 796"] All Altus schools would have to do is change Xmas break to "Winter Break." It's already "Fall" and "Spring" breaks. Who cares? And the First Amendment is a red herring: "Congress shall make no laws concerning..etc" does not mean "Government shall actively act to protect everyone from the agony of hearing a religious word by favoring atheists." As some states had banned certain churches in favor of others, the clear reading is to protect churches from Congress, not the new concept introduced in the Warren court of the Federal Government CONTROLLING and LIMITING churches, and interfering with personal practice of religion. Reminds me of the book [U]Fahrenheit 451[/U], and the changed function of "Firemen": burning books the Government considered unsuitable. [/QUOTE]
