I see many comments from people who feel that other people are pushing their religious beliefs on them. Could this also be the case with holidays being celebrated in schools? Many people are against having prayer in school, why take out prayer, but leave in religious holidays? Except for the political holidays, if you check the background of these holidays, they all have some type of religious background to them. I hear many people say, "Well it's just for fun", if an atheist parent does not believe in the Bible, God, or Jesus, wouldn't they possibly feel as thought Christians are pushing these holidays down their children's throat? What about other religions who don't share Christian beliefs? Halloween? That has got to be about the most unchristian holiday of them all, yet, many Christians celebrate it. I do not understand the reasoning of school boards, principals, and the state on this matter.
