once again the Christmas season is upon us, and the crusade to remove Christmas continues. The First Amendment of the US Constitution states that: "Congress shall make on law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the exercise thereof..." so why is Christmas coming under attack? clearly there is no Seperation of Chruch and state listed in the Constitution, the First Amendment only gives the individual the right to worship how ever they choose, and prevents the government from declaring an offical religion. celerbrating Christmas does not establish a religion. you as an individual can choose to worship how you choose. The hard fact is that there are more Christians in America than other religion, nothing is preventing soneone from celerbrating there corasponding holidsy. the latest strike against Christmas comes from Hofstre University Special Education Professor George Guiliani was said " rudolph the rednosed raindeer promotes bullying and sends the wrong message to children" comeon, how about we look at the real reason for this uptick in bullying, reality TV. this is just another attempt to stop Christmas. I didnt turn in to a bully and I have watched Rudolph for over 30 years. LEAVE CHRISTMAS ALONE

Hello sini. Isn't it getting ridiculous. This movie has been around since my 50 year old son was small. It is a part of Christmas. Not all the kids that watch it turn into bullies. The kids that do become bullies are bullies regardless of what they watch. Kids not allowed to sit on Santa's lap, 
school in Michigan remove the word gay from "Deck The Halls". Schools are afraid to have any religious songs in their Christmas concerts for fear of being sued by the American Civil Liberties Union and their associates. A school in California is not allowing any Santas poinsettia or Christmas tree in the class room and won't let Santa visit the school only snowmen and snowflakes allowed. 
Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee refuses to call the decorated tree in the State Capitol a Christmas tree. He refers to it as a "holiday tree." A teacher in New York tells second grade kids there is no Santa. Forth Worth, TX school district bans celebration during school hours. It seems that Christmas has to be spoiled every year now by some scrooges. If they don't like Christmas just be quite and let the rest of us enjoy the Season of Christmas and Hanukkah and all the rest we want to celebrate.

The rudolf direction is kinda weird... because the moral of the story is that the one who was picked on for having one little difference, was the one who stood out and became leader... showing kids that even if they are picked on, they are still original and extra special, and that if you put it to use, you'll exceed more then the others ever could...
I don't quite understand how someone could see that as promoting bullying...
