Is Texas Banning Students From Celebrating Christmas? According to recent reports, one Texas Elementary school has decided to ban the phrase Merry Christmas. Nichols Elementary School PTA issued an email to parents last year stating that children would not be allowed to say Merry Christmas at the annual holiday party. The rule is apparently intended to avoid offending anyone. However, the email also took the ban a step further. Reportedly, the event is not going to reference Christmas in the slightest, with no Christmas trees, no red or green clothing, and no mention of it in the name. The event has even changed its name from Holiday Party to Winter Party. State Representative Pat Fallon called the email Political correctness gone too far. One school district official has responded to the email by stating that it was not an official PTA correspondence, and that there are no restrictions on what students can wear or say. What do you think of the schools new policy?
