This little gem of an ad is a perfect example of what bothers me so much. There are plenty of problems in this country, but apparently these are the ones that matter: gays and Christmas in school.
First, Mr. Perry, gay men and women are willing to fight and die to defend your right to celebrate whatever religion you want. Your answer to that seems to be that those brave people shouldn't have the same rights they die to give you.
Second, kids too can celebrate whatever they want. They can even pray on school grounds. However, if you want to take time out of class to pray to Jesus and celebrate Christmas, you're going to also have to allow time out of the same class to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, Simchat Torah, Chanukkah, Tu B'Shevat, Purim, Pesach, Lag B'Omer, Shavu'ot, Tisha B'A, Milad un Nabi, Ramadan, Eid-Ul-Fitr, Eid-Ul-Adha, Al-Hijira, Ashura, Holi, Mahashivratri, Rama Navami, Krishna Jayanti, Raksabandhana, Chaturthi, Dassera, Navaratri, Diwali, Vesak Puja, Makha Bucha, and countless other holidays and festivals that you're too self-centered to have ever heard of.
With all that religious celebration during school time, I don't know when you planned to let the kids get around to learning anything. Though, given the vacuous content of your message, I guess that probably doesn't bother you.
