Ugh...I'm confused. Are we arguing with people who only attended private, parochial schools, and have made it to adulthood not knowing the difference? What is going on here?
Not sure what's going on. Are people still pretending that singing a song is worship? Are they still twisting the Establishment Clause into their own license to hate? Some people just want the right to never be annoyed but for a hateful, angry person that is impossible.
It's a commentary about how truly delicate Americans have become. It is bad enough that we have raised college students to be completely intolerant of ideas they have been programmed to disagree with. One of the most valuable aspects of education is supposed to be the exposure to different cultures and traditions that are not your own including American traditions. If you think that millennials are a bunch of pussies just wait until the kids in grade school now get to be 25 years old.
Teachable moment:
Student: "What does that mean 'Christ the Savior is born'?"
Teacher: "Oh, Christians believe in a man called Jesus that when he died went to heaven. They believe that if you follow what he taught then they will go to heaven. There are many other religions though that teach many other things."
**And something called education happens**
Talking about singing harmless Christmas songs not prayer, oh Dense One.
If done in an educational context, go nuts. The "harm" comes from government endorsement of religion.

Why Christmas songs and not Hindu and Budhist mantra chanting?

There should be a paged warning before hitting post on a post that will page lol
Doesn't every religion pray though?
Could just do a general prayer and have each faith focus it to their God?
Buddhists with their legs folded meditating, Hindus with their beads doing yoga, Muslims doing their floor kissing to standing excersises, facing the cube, at certain times of the sun, making sure they are clothed correctly and washed, while reciting the Quran, telling your good and bad deeds to both Angels over both shoulders, making sure your body is correctly positioned, then asking for forgiveness 3 times afterward in case you've messed anything up, Catholics doing their sign of the cross and Rosemary beads, Christians eyes closed in thought.
Whatever the God that created everything and sees and hears everything demands to have done to be able to lend an ear right?
Those not religious could just see it as a nice gesture for goodwill to others. Not really a big deal. And good to learn and ask about others culture.

Welcome back to the false equivalence show, everybody! Today we have Maldini pretending that Hindu and Buddhist schoolchildren are upset that we sing Frosty the Snowman in the winter instead of chanting mantras.

Have we talk about how the "vetting" process for immigrants doesn't even include looking at what people post on social media because it violates a cornerstone of political correctness?

I would like to use my privilege to get a bunch of free stuff please...
What's this? What do you mean I can't get these benefits because I'm not a "minority"?
This "privilege" ***sucks :(

"Privilege: Unearned access to social power based on membership in a dominant social group."
"Privilege" is just the latest mechanism to enable people to feel victimized by traditional culture.
The SJWs are just pawns in a greater game.

It boils down to, would you like to be enlightened with what humanity has to deal with or would you just like to know what your current group of humans deals with.
No, not all white males are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, everyone has problems and most of the SJWs I've seen are on a pity party. These people are more often than not just starved for attention with a bias opinion for one reason or another.

Do you have an actual reason why it doesn't include that or are you just going to keep making these stupid statements ad nasium?
All this pressure to expand our area of concern far past our area of control will ultimately leave us crippled and stagnant. Accomplishing nothing, while worrying about everything.

Okay. This has been bugging me for a bit...
I'm going to preface this with, I'm not an atheist and this isn't coming from a bad place.
You're not familiar with any of the following practices: Baptism/Christening, Communion, Catechism, Confirmation. (I'm kind of glad I didn't throw in a mention of the Sacrament to gauge.)
Now, you're Christian and that's fine and dandy, and how you practice is up to you. But where I'm flummoxed is, how have you not been exposed to any of these words via friends, family and in school when touching on the Reformation? These are all part and parcel to Christianity whether Catholic (Christening/Catechism Catholic exclusive), Lutheran, Anglican, Episcopalian, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, and a bevvy of other denominations.
Are you absolutely serious that you have never heard of any of these practices before today?

Check my post again. Being a while male had absolutely nothing to do with a class privilege.
Don't act like anyone here claims they are the same thing, that's like claiming there are no poor white people.

Nailed it. On top of that, we have a whole lot of dreaming going on about where things should be and practically nobody giving feasible solutions on how to actually get there.

I can't force any of you to actually care about humanity, all I can do is urge you to.
Am I still missing your point? Or was that it?
So, how did the debate go? Looks like it focused on security, so I'm sure the candidates just completely failed the facts.

You don't have to show your pre-conceived bias card so early in the game, Vic. At least let the discussion start first.
