They shouldn't be allowed to. Teachers shouldn't express their opinions during class time. They are there to teach students, not indoctrinate them.

[quote=Article]One of the offending trees was in the lobby of Thomas' office. He said he didn't become aware that the star atop the tree might be a problem until consulting with county attorneys.[/quote] Wait... so he didn't even know it was a religious symbol until he consulted an attorney? So he [b]wasn't even legitimately offended, he was just walking around looking for reasons to get pissed off?[/b] Jesus Christ, this guy is a dick. I'm not even Christian, I don't even like them, but this is just liberal douchebaggery at its worst.
I'm not disagreeing. I said what I said because it was the first example I could think of. That doesn't mean that what I left unsaid was unimportant.
[QUOTE=faze;19149527]Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus. But if he doesn't like it, he should get over himself. Just like another old person with nothing to do but complain about the stupidest things.[/QUOTE] Funny thing is Jesus wasn't born in Dec.25 :smug:
[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;19165745]They shouldn't be allowed to. Teachers shouldn't express their opinions during class time. They are there to teach students, not indoctrinate them.[/QUOTE] I blindly support this person.
[QUOTE=Mcvain;19160429]I'll take a break from Facepunch if this gets me banned, but this needs to be said. Faze, I agree with your opening statement "But if he doesn't like it, he should get over himself. Just like another old person with nothing to do but complain about the stupidest things." However, your way of arguing with T-Minus10 is making me rage and probably the majority of people reading this thread. Sometimes you come to a milestone in your life where you need to step back and just say "It's not worth it. I'm more mature than this." Obviously you haven't gotten to that point but now would be a good time to start, being as it is the start of a new year; maybe you can make it your new goal. This is the extent of my politeness and because I just got back from a night of District 9 and Jack Daniels with a friend who had some oxycodine because of having her teeth pulled out. So shut the fuck up faggot and sit your ass down like the rest of us, we are tired of your bullshit responses to a battle that is already fucking lost. We wanted to just read this fucking thread and have a damn conversation about it because it's fucking two days till Christmas and it was interesting. But you couldn't let the fucking argument go you fucking prick, no, you had to be the center of attention because the bitch of a mother that brought you into this world didn't give two shits about you and winged you the day you came out of her crusty vagina. And I don't blame her. I don't blame your mother at all, you were probably arguing that she didn't shove her tits down your throat and ooze out that vile liquid down into your mouth at every moment you had a tinge of dryness inside your cheek. I should blame your dad for not beating you as a kid, and if he did he sure did a piss poor fucking job at it, should of grabbed the fucking frying pan instead of the belt he uses to choke himself with when he masturbates. Take that fucking keyboard of yours and bend over while your dad properly positions himself behind you and inserts it into your ass. Merry fucking Christmas asshole.[/QUOTE] Somebody's angry.

He received the complaint from the veteran named Irv Sutley. When Thomas was given the complaint about the star, he consulted with his attorney to make sure the complaint was legit. :doh: [QUOTE=Archy;19165282]this man makes atheists look like horrible people :ohdear:[/QUOTE] How dare they uphold the law!

When the Romans became Christian, they didn't want to lose their big Winter festival celebrating Saturnalia, so they decided to make it Jesus' birthday :downs:
Oh and for the clever bros who think "X-mas" is different from "Christmas": [quote]The "X" in Xmas is from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of Χριστός, Christ in Greek[/quote] It's all the same shit.
Meh, a little etymology research shows you that Jesus Christ isn't his real name. Christ is a word either from Old-English or Greek which means, 'anointed one." Which they added when they were translating it. His true Hebrew name is Yahshua. I mean hell... the letter J didn't exist until 500 years ago. Now I'm just going from memory, I welcome someone correcting me. I love it.
That's just pedantry. [editline]01:52AM[/editline] Also most people are aware that Christ isn't his surname [editline]01:52AM[/editline] Like Wales isn't Prince William's surname [editline]01:53AM[/editline] Julius Caesar's real name was GAIVS IVLIVS CAESAR! OMG THE ROMANS DIDN'T EXIST
Christmas is Christmas, if you don't want to celebrate it, fuck off, if your not christian, who cares? Christmas may have once been religious, but it's now a holiday, a time of peace and celebrations, tbh, if you were to remove decorations from government buildings, that attacks the culture and holiday of the US. Besides screw the minorities, if they don't want to celebrate Xmas, they should go back to where they came from.
[QUOTE=Killergam;19222177]Christmas may have once been religious[/QUOTE] What?
This is just wrong, it's like telling someone to burn their car because you don't like it.

Just like another old person with nothing to do but complain about the stupidest things.[/QUOTE] Jesus wasn't born on December the 25th. Christmas was celebrated far before Christianity. It was even outlawed [b]by the church[/b] for a while, before they [b]changed Jesus's birthday to December the 25th and made Christmas about Jesus.[/b] (Obviously it wasn't called Christmas before that point. They made this change because people still celebrated it despite it being outlawed.)
I think those stars in the sky are representing religion. I demand they be removed.
