The Season To Tell Big, Honking Lies: More `War On Christmas' Calumny From The Far Right

The Season To Tell Big, Honking Lies: More `War On Christmas' Calumny From The Far Right By Rob Boston, 2013-12-05 10:27:57

[http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/12/03/school-administrators-reported
ly-instruct-teachers-to-remove-christmas-cards-from-hallways/]reported
that a public school in Bulloch County, Ga., had banned Christmas cards.
According to the Beck site, this was done because earlier this year Americans United had demanded that the school order teachers to "curtail religious expression while teaching."The story was soon appearing on right-wing blogs and making a splash on social media. There was a big problem with it, however: It wasn't true.
