Religious Equality in Schools??

I got a real kick out of this article from a Chicago-suburb.

It seems there is a movement to rename or cancel Halloween and Christmas celebrations in schools. Can there ever be absolute equality and tolerance at the same time? More often than not, the majority is bending over backwards to be tolerant of the plethora of minority customs and cultures- which is great!- Cinco de Mayo, Ramadan and others. The Christian majority should be tolerant of other beliefs and customs. But is it crazy to expect the same courtesy from the minority? I'm sorry for offending!

The real funny thing is- aside from the name 'Christmas,' there's not much religion left in the holiday! It's about as secular as it gets with Santa Claus and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer! When was the last time a public school did a Nativity as a school program? School boards are terrified to death of the slightest hint of any religious discrimination, that is to say only if it is Christian. If it is favor of islamic, hispanic, buddist or jewish observance it is TOLERANCE! Sorry, I'm ranting. We all need a healthy dose of Michael Scott's Diversity training from The Office.
