Grinch still trying to steal Christmas
Phyllis Schlafly profiles anti-Christian extremism plaguing America this season

The Grinch was a bitter, grumpy hermit who tried to steal Christmas from the kids in a famous children’s story of the 1950s. Unfortunately, the Grinch has re-emerged to try to take Christmas away from schoolchildren.

The Grinch is so nasty today that his actions could be prosecuted under our hate-crime laws. The law defines hate crimes as those characterized by hate, or even bias, committed on the basis of a person’s protected characteristics of religion and (you know the other protected categories).

All over the country, Grinches masquerading as school superintendents have been banning the traditional singing of Christmas carols and nativity displays, and insisting that the word “winter” be substituted every time the word Christmas is used (i.e., “winter vacation”).

The Grinch ignores the fact that federal law makes Christmas Day a national holiday. There are no laws or even court decisions that prohibit school children from singing Christmas carols.

Grinches at Osgood Intermediate School in Kings Park, N.Y., took a different tactic, censoring words out of “Silent Night” before fifth graders were allow to sing. Edited out were “holy infant,” “Christ the Savior is born,” and “’round yon virgin, mother and child.” The school’s principal has since apologized for this travesty.

The Grinch has even imposed his anti-Christian extremism on U.S. judges. A federal judge in San Diego just ordered the famous 43-foot-tall Mount Soledad Cross to be dug up and removed from a veterans’ memorial where it has been honored since 1913.

The military is getting the message that it must be in harmony with the secularist bias of the commander in chief. The Grinch, under the name Military Religious Freedom Foundation, showed up at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina to complain about a nativity display set up by a group of volunteers in the base chapel.

The Air Force took the nativity scene down within two hours and 15 minutes of being contacted. Who knew the Air Force would so promptly obey orders from protesters?
