Lawmakers in Texas are reminding
schools in the state that it’s okay to say “Merry Christmas” and to celebrate
the yule tide and Hanukah holidays without fear of repercussion.
The law “…allows students and
district staff to offer traditional greetings regarding the celebrations,
including: ‘Merry Christmas,’ ‘Happy Hanukah,’ and ‘Happy Holidays,” and allows
for schools to set up nativity scenes, menorahs, Christmas trees and other
“symbols associated with traditional winter celebrations.”
“In today’s world of political
correctness run amok, Christmas Trees have been replaced with ‘Holiday Trees’
and simple on-campus greetings such as ‘Merry Christmas’ or ‘Happy Hanukkah’
can land a student or teacher in hot water,” a message on the Bohac
Campaign-sponsored website MerryChristmasBill.com
states.
