Schools Already Looking At Next Christmas

Attention to the celebration of Christmas in public schools did not stop in December. Today's Hartford, Connecticut Courant reports that the superintendent of the East Windsor, Conn. schools has decided that his district went too far last year in removing holiday decorations. The school had taken down a Christmas tree that had been put up, and told the town's park and recreation department not to advertise its annual Santa Call program or hold its Easter egg hunt in the schools. At the request of parents, the school district has now had its attorney review the case law, and symbols of various religions will be back in the schools next December.
