Washington School Calender Omits Christmas

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Just in case you missed catching the story last week, in a December newsletter to the families of elementary school students, Spokane Public Schools' list of "important dates" didn't include Christmas:

Hanukkah, Human Rights Day, winter break, the Islamic holy day Eid al-Adha, first day of winter and Kwanzaa all made the list. But no Christmas.

"It was absolutely an error of omission," district spokeswoman Terren Roloff said. "In our efforts to be inclusive, we missed the obvious."

Apparently, the "omission" has been corrected, but it is more than telling that a school in the liberal state of Washington claims it simply forgot Christmas but lists "Kwanzaa" - a made-up anti-Christian observance that's nothing more than a jumble of political ideology, pseudo-cultural, and spiritualized "African" rituals.

And then, of course, they did remember Hanukkah, Human Rights Day, winter break, the Islamic holy day Eid al-Adha, first day of winter. Anything and everything - except Christmas.

This reminds me of the bumper sticker marketed by Washington State Democrats back in 2005:

Before being exposed to public scrutiny, the official web site of the Washington State Democrats was marketing magnetic car stickers that defame Christians. The sticker shows a fish with the flames of hell in the background, a tilted cross sinking into the flames and the words "Hypocrite" superimposed over it.

So, as for this most recent anti-Christian incident, the liberals in Washington state committed "an error of omission," in their "efforts to be inclusive," and simply "missed the obvious"? And we're suppose to believe this?

Apparently, there are folks in Washington state that think the rest of us, as Johhny Carson might say - just fell off a turnip truck.

Hat tip - Julia Gorin, who notes at Political Mavens: "It's time to do a remake of the 1984 classic "Do They Know it's Christmas?". Except instead of the developed world singing it on behalf of the third world, the 2007 version will have the third world reminding Americans that Christmas exists."
