Schools Can't Say Christmas, But They Can Celebrate This?

I haven't been a sixth grader since the 1990s, so I don't know what it's like these days, but around that time, I remember everyone getting a little touchy about having Christmas parties and celebrations in December. In elementary school, the kids who didn't celebrate were allowed to go the library and hang out during the festivities if they didn't want to participate, but as I got a little older, it was all about rebranding those events as secular "holiday" or "winter" ones to be inclusive.

We couldn't sing "Away in a Manger" or even "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," but we could sing "Let It Snow" or "Winter Wonderland," for example.

Maybe those of you with children and grandchildren in public schools these days can tell me what it's like where you are, but for this story, which is in Maryland, I found that as of 2014, at least 14 of Maryland's school districts -- it may be more now -- do not recognize any religious holidays, like Christmas or Rosh Hashanah, by name. Christmas is now referred to as "winter holiday."

While it sounds like you can't say the C-word, here's what you can do: celebrate "Transgender Awareness Week." I'm dead serious.

According to Fox News, middle schoolers at Westland Middle School in Bethesda were given lessons in honor of this holiest of all leftist weeks and made to watch slideshows and videos filled with propaganda.

The media the school used taught the children that "a person's gender is who they feel that they are," along with "advice for coming out" and "eight tips for being nonbinary." After the students learned what it means to be "transgender," they were quizzed on the topic. It also encouraged kids to talk amongst themselves about how you know if someone is a boy or girl. The video even even tells the kids what to do if someone calls them the wrong pronouns and teaches "trans" females how to bind their breasts. At the end of the slide show, kids are encouraged to join Westland's LGBTQ+ and/or Sexuality and Gender Accepta
