In the East Syracuse-Minoa School District, parents received a letter from their school with strict limits that essentially ban all things Christmas from the school’s program.

A parent with four children in the school district approached Deputy Superintendent Dr. Thomas Neveldine about this new restriction, and Dr. Neveldine told her that Santa Claus was no longer allowed on campus because he originated from the story about St. Nicholas. Thus, according to the Deputy Superintendent, nothing with any hint of Christianity is permissible to celebrate Christmas, even if the symbol has a decidedly secular meaning today.

A growing group of parents are fighting against these ridiculous restrictions and on Monday, concerned parents and citizens will address the local school board. A petition has been started that requests the return of Christmas celebrations. Dr. Neveldine can be reached by calling 315-434-3006.

Liberty Counsel has joined with Christian Educators Association International in the seventh annual Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign that is designed to educate and, if necessary, litigate to make sure religious viewpoints regarding Christmas are not censored. Liberty Counsel has legal memos that address the law regarding this issue on its website at www.LC.org. Liberty Counsel also has its “Naughty & Nice” list, which overviews retailers that acknowledge Christmas and those that do not.
