TN ACLU: We wish you a Merry Christmas NOT

From the Tennessean (who by the way thought Hedy Weinberg pictured left should be considered Tennessean of  the Year last year... and the TN state legislature ended up honoring her at the end of the session when Senator Haynes snuck in a resolution in the waning hours)

The American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee has warned school officials across the state about holiday celebrations. So my 6 yr old grandchild who has been practicing her We wish you a Merry Christmas for the pageant is in violation? Get a life Weinberg! I know Christmas this year is on a Saturday but I know since it is a federal holiday the ACLU offices are closed on Christmas Day. I bet that this year the offices will be closed on Friday to celebrate the federal holiday of Christmas.

"In a letter to the 137 public school superintendents, the group reminded them that holiday celebrations focusing primarily on one religious holiday amount to a school's unconstitutional endorsement of religion."

"The ACLU sued the Cheatham County school district last November because the organization said the system promoted and endorsed a number of religious activities."
