A school in Florida has not only banned Christmas - but everything associated with the Christian holiday.
Teachers at Heathrow Elementary School have been ordered to banish images of Santa Claus from classrooms - along with traditional Christmas colors like red and green.
"You can't use red and green," one outraged parent told WESH. "It's ridiculous."
The parent, who serves as a volunteer room mother, said she was recently given a list of guidelines that listed the holiday restrictions.
She said the basic theme of the letter was, "We don't want to offend anyone who doesn't believe in Santa Claus or the Christian beliefs."
What about offending the majority of us that do have Christian beliefs?
Below, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) is afraid that the U.S. Territory of Guam is going to
"tip over and capsize" due to overpopulation.
Johnson expressed his worries during a House Armed Services Committee hearing on the defense budget Thursday.
Addressing
Adm. Robert Willard, who commands the Navy's Pacific Fleet, Johnson made a tippy motion with his hands and said sternly,
"My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize."
Willard paused and said: "
We don't anticipate that."
I think he did a great job in holding back his own belly laugh... at this hearing.
