Christmas Rant
Why do we have to be so careful not to "offend" others by talking about or focusing on Christ at Christmas (or any other time) yet we are supposed to be supportive of any event, display, or expression of other beliefs?
As a supervisor I am aware of and sensitive to the need to provide people alternate work assignments for staff members who have different beliefs (i.e. judiasm, islam). When we host a Christmas party for our clients I make sure that they can work at one of our other work assignments for the day, etc.
But I can not accept the restrictions on christianity (often in favor of other faiths) in the name of seperation of church and state. The US supreme court has before it a case dealing with a school district that has refused to allow a display of Christmas emblems in the school BUT the same school allows displays related to hannakah and ramadan. Does that make sense? Anyway, the irony gets better because the Supreme court has not yet decided the case because the members of the court are on their CHRISTMAS break.
I'd laugh (it is kind of funny) but I know that I can't count on common sense in the final decision from the Supreme Court.
