Texas Town Forced To Take Down Christmas Banners Because It Offended Atheists According to recent reports, the Knights of Columbus were recently required to take down a banner for containing a religious message. The banner read Keep Christ in Christmas, and was posted by New Braunfels Utilities. Regardless of whether one agrees or disagrees with the message, NBU is a municipal utility and cannot lawfully display a religious message, claimed Gretchen Reuwer, the communications manager for the company. The bottom line is Christ is the reason for the Christmas season, claims Joe Hernandez, a member of the Knights of Columbus. Hes the reason for the special holidayhis birthday. Its not a war on Christmas. I think its a war on Christperiod. What do you think of the censorship of the banner?
