YOU CAN HELP US SAVE CHRISTMAS
Back in 2003, Liberty Counsel noticed a swell of anti-Christmas sentiment that was threatening to become a tsunami of unconstitutional censorship. Christmas decorations were packed away or renamed. People wanting to celebrate Christmas were told to sit down and be quiet. Employees, students and even senior citizens were banned from saying certain words!
In answer to this, Liberty Counsel launched our annual
Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign and now we are putting the “grinches” on the run! We promise to be a “Friend” to those who recognize Christmas and a “Foe” to those who censor it. This campaign includes encouragement, education—and, if necessary, litigation—to guard our freedom to celebrate Christmas. You can
read this sample list of some of the numerous Christmas-related issues in which Liberty Counsel has been involved.
First, each year we publish a new
Naughty and Nice List of retailers who either censor or celebrate Christmas. Liberty Counsel encourages you to give the gift of Christmas back to the companies who support it. If retailers choose to profit from Christmas while pretending it does not exist, we encourage you to politely explain why and then patronize their competitors. (Here is a
one-page version for your convenience).
Second, we published a
legal memorandum detailing how courts and our Constitution preserve the freedom to celebrate Christmas. Our staff has addressed and overturned hundreds of censorship attempts like the following examples.
- Restoring Nativity scenes that had been banned from public property
- Returning Christmas carols to elderly people whose were silenced in their nursing homes
- Lifting a ban on public school students wearing red and green colors to class
- Correcting school officials who rewrote religious words out of Christmas carols
- Reversing Christmas trees and parades that were renamed “holiday” items
In the above situations—and hundreds more—Liberty Counsel has educated and successfully reversed this anti-Christmas censorship. We deeply wish you can find the joy and love of Christmas and we will always stand with you so that you have the freedom to share that gift with others.
