FOCUS ON/Dec. 26: A new religion in the schools? | Star-Telegram.com
Administrators are energetically scrubbing school facilities and children’s brains free of Christian religious messages (including, in some districts, disallowing students to distribute candy canes). At the same time, they are working hard to substitute the myth of man-made "global warming" with a fervor that resembles religious proselytizing.
The NYTimes’ PC Christmas — Imagine There’s No Religion But Global Warming’s True
Imagine there’s no religion, it’s easy for The New York Times to do — even in a Christmas Day editorial that somehow forgets that Christmas is about Christ’s birth. In fact, the NYT decided that this Christmas was its opportunity to wallow in worse-than-ever sentiments and to bemoan that this year’s Christmas isn’t as good as it used to be. Oh, they tried to dress it up a bit by saying it is great to have a Christmas that gets us back to basics and also by slipping in some global warming clap trap, but it is still a lament that we all have it so darn bad these days.

The Christmas Day editorial starts off surmising that “you may be wondering about the carbon equation of a Christmas tree,” though it is a bit amusing to see them make such a silly assumption. I’d rather bet that even most environuts weren’t thinking about their Christmas carbon footprint when they awoke that morning! But, not the NYT. They are all worried that those old Christmas lights are going to cause the end of the planet as we know it!
