Learn to be tolerant of others and take pleasure in them enjoying themselves!
| The use of Christmas carols in a public forum is meant to pressure people to conform. Quote: Again, how is anyone being "excluded"?
If you don't want to sing carols you don't have to. Just as you don't have to go to the college football games. | But one does have to go to school, when there, a child should not have to choose between conforming to authority (in the form of teachers and administrators) expectations and conforming to parental expectations. Quote: So people are free to promote their political beliefs, their homosexuality, their sporting preferences - everything but their religious beliefs???

People cannot use the public forum to deprive others of their rights, whatever those rights may involve.

Why? Ones freedom of religion does not depend on being able to promote it in the public square. Ones freedom of religion does not depend upon being able to force it upon others. The greatest danger to liberty lurks in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.
