11. This is the over-sensationalized "story" that lets Billo the Clown rant about the "War on Christmas"

Realistically, this is only what many school districts do for good reason, as they're government entities required to observe the 1st Amendment Establishment Clause. Happy Holidays is just fine, but "Merry Christmas" is not, as that amounts to a government endorsement of Christianity.

But of course, FAUX News and Bill O'Reilly is going to piss and moan about the "War on Christmas", when really the issue is Judeo-Christian privilege in our government, which is supposed to be out of the religion business entirely.
