Is Santa allowed in Public Schools?

Question

please give refrences and if you can, please site supreme court rulings/ammendments

Answer 1

I'm really not sure on that one! I don't think he should be though! If we can't celebrate the birth of Jesus or have God in school then why should santa be allowed there?

Answer 2

Not all students who attend public schools believe in santa claus but there are some that do. If the school in question celebrates all other holidays, I don't see why santa claus can't be allowed in that school. With this response it is imperative to understand that the principal of that school ,the teachers , as well as the superintendent of the school district will make that decision outside of the supreme court ruling.

Answer 3

Generally, any religious references or symbols (and Santa is usually considered a Christian reference) can only put up in public schools as part of a display that includes multiple religions.

In other words, as long as the display is not promoting one single religion (Christianity) and respects many different religions equally, it may be valid. But a display only for Christmas is not, because it promotes one religion above others and that's unconstitutional.

There have been a number of Supreme Court and federal appellate cases that have ruled on this issue.

Answer 4

My theory is that each public college is on Santa's naughty record, therethore they're lacking of trip spirit by way of tramatic journey of continuously getting coal for christmas. See, each 12 months each public college kidnaps a number of santa's elves, public colleges then diguise those elves as creatures we call, gingers. The gingers are huge-unfold as daywalkers and are given a convienent backstory approximately their existence to avert suspicion. no longer in elementary terms is Santa dissatisfied that his workers are robotically abducted, yet he's likewise dissatisfied that the thirteenth modification applies to his elves, and interior the generic public college equipment is taught as being a brilliant journey in historic past, Or it ought to be some thing it is surely genuine, yet it extremely is lots extra relaxing, so I follow this.

Answer 5

This depends largely on the region. For instance, the public school in Sombertown (N.E. region of the North Pole) Santa is welcome on the eve of (what some believe to be the birth of Jesus, many scholars dispute this claim and believe he was actually born in the spring), typically identified as 12/24 in addition to the the date of Jesus' birth (12/25). But most public schools ban Santa, Santa Claus, Kris Kringle, St. Nick, etc.

Answer 6

The whole point of Christmas tree's, Santa, Rudolph was to create a non religeous/secular holiday. It's those like the ACLU and the Politically Correct nimrods who create the problem.

Look at the story out of Florida last month, where the school cancelled a play called "A Penguin Christmas." Nothing religeous about it, but they were forced to cancel, because the lefty tards started shouting seperation crap.

Answer 7

Probably not. There is a legal precedent of "a wall between church and state" that blocks this (started with a letter from Thomas Jefferson, and was backed up by the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment). Therefore, it is "Winter Holiday" as opposed to "Christmas Break."

Answer 8

santa is every where! for as long as each and every one think about goodwill and unity, them there's santa!

Answer 9

Only if they have a chimney.
