They didn't ban Christmas gifts, they just said they can't be handed out during class time. Before & after school and during lunch they are allowed. Teachers are also allowed to decorate, and students can wish each other a Merry Christmas at any time.

Students can, however, exchange gifts and cards before and after school and during lunch, district spokesman Clint Bond said.
Nowhere, which is why I think it's preposterous. I'm not Christian, but I think the anti-Christmas crowd goes too far sometimes. I think many if not most of the anti-Christmas people seem to forget that most Americans aren't celebrating Christmas in a "religious" way.

What about the anti-education people. Shouldn't class time be spent on teaching and learning, and not on celebrating holidays.

When you were in school, did you never have holiday parties in class?
Yes, I know this district is allowing parties if they serve a "legitimate instructional purpose," but honestly can't the kids just have a holiday party for fun?

Yes, but I won't fault a teacher or school that wants to spend it on studying. Do you think schools in Japan spend their class time partying?

I can tell from your post that you fully support Santa and gifts being removed from the classroom. Why do you hate Christmas?
