Fight for 'Merry Christmas' continues

The Pacific Justice Institute has been receiving complaints about Christmas censorship.

The censorship has been coming in from government, schools, and businesses. Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) founder Brad Dacus provides an example.

"One employee working for a retail establishment said 'Merry Christmas' and was formally reprimanded for saying (that) instead of 'Seasons Greetings,'" he points out.

PJI is also investigating an incident at a school. "Some students at a school had chosen some songs for the Christmas program, but they were told they could not sing any songs that mentioned Christmas or Christ or anything with the actual origins of Christmas," the attorney explains.

Dacus says the courts have clearly stated that Christmas can, in fact, be celebrated unapologetically in schools and by the government, adding that supposed separation of church and state does not exist for businesses. PJI reports it is acting quickly on the complaints to "remedy potential First Amendment violations."
