Charlie Brown's Christmas Revenge

A new 2015 Rasmussen Report national survey found that 76 percent of American adults believed Christmas should be celebrated in public schools. Only 15 percent disagreed. The same has been reported over the last few years.

Rasmussen explained, "Among adults with school-age children at home, 82% favor celebrating Christmas in public schools, and 61% believe there should be more religion in those schools."

And yet, secular progressives continue to work double time to eradicate any Christian or religious references or influences in public schools.

For example, despite many parents' protests, a Kentucky public school superintendent implemented a district-wide religious ban that removed Jesus from a Charlie Brown Christmas play after a single person complained about the Savior's involvement. A Bible passage that described Jesus' birth was also removed.

In another school in the same district, "Silent Night" was replaced with a Christmas version of the "Whip/Nae Nae" song, explained Todd Starnes with Fox News.

After receiving advice from the school district attorneys, Superintendent Tom Salyer posted this message on the district's website:

In accordance with federal laws, our programs will follow appropriate regulations. The U.S. Supreme Court and the 6th Circuit are very clear that public school staff may not endorse any religion when acting in their official capacities and during school activities. However, our district is fully committed to promote the spirit of giving and concern for our fellow citizens that help define the Christmas holiday. With core values such as service, integrity, leadership, and commitment, our staff and students will continue to proudly represent our district as recently demonstrated by our many student successes.

During this Christmas week, I want to stress one more time that the First Amendment was not given to restrict the public's expression of speech and religion but protect its free exercise from over-lording government officials who would seek to suppress it, just like what happened in Kentucky.

Senior legal counsel Jeremy Tedesco from the Alliance Defending Freedom, a great advocate agency protecting Americans' religious liberty, rightly wrote, "There is no violation of the so-called 'separation of church and state' by allowing children to learn about theater and the origins of Christmas through participating in a stage version of this beloved program that contains the same religious elements as the television version.  Moreover, students may learn about the religious origins of Christmas as part of school activities without offending the Constitution."

Sadly, Americans are being brainwashed by secular progressives that the First Amendment restricts religious freedoms even in the public square, when it was given to protect and preserve such expression even within the halls of Congress and public schools.

So proliferating is the brainwashing that many Yale University students were recently caught on video freely signing a petition that calls for the repeal of the First Amendment.

A member of the Yale Law School faculty wasn't pleased with what he saw on the now-viral video, saying, "It's a sad commentary on the present state of public opinion. This is a moment at which fundamental principles are under assault from both the left and the right."

What is so difficult about understanding the wording in the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …"?

My wife, Gena, and I are on the board of directors of the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools, or NCBCPS.

NCBCPS's curriculum course helps students to understand the Bible's influence and impact on history, literature, our legal and educational systems, as well as art, archaeology and other parts of civilization. In this elective class, students are required to read through their textbook – the Bible. You can view a demo of the electronic version of the curriculum by clicking here. Or click here to watch Gena and I discussing the curriculum.

Unknown to most, it's legal and our constitutional right to be able to teach and be taught the Bible in public schools. That is why, from California and Alaska to Pennsylvania and Florida, 93 percent of school boards approached with a Bible education curriculum voted to implement it.

To date, the NCBCPS Bible curriculum has been voted into 1,135 school districts (2,683 high schools) in 39 states. More than 625,000 students have already taken this course nationwide on high-school campuses during school hours for credit.

To learn how anyone can help their local school board to implement this Bible course, please write or call NCBCPS at 1-877-OnBible (1-877-662-4253). For a contribution of any size, a starter package with a step-by-step guide, all legal data necessary to satisfy the questions of school board members, letters from school districts that have implemented it, the table of contents of the Bible curriculum, and other NCBCPS information will be sent to you immediately.

Isn't it interesting how a federal judge can be sworn in on a Quran, but Linus can't read the true meaning of Christmas from the Gospel of Luke in a public school Charlie Brown Christmas play?

Linus' recitation of the story of our Savior's birth takes only about a minute of any theatrical performance of a Charlie Brown's Christmas. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of this Christmas classic and for the sake of preserving the heart of the real Christmas story, below is the transcript version taken right from the 1965 television special, or you can watch the actual biblical clip here on YouTube.

After Charlie Brown sinks into despair, wondering what the true meaning of Christmas is, he says, "Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?"

To which Linus replies, "Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about."

Linus then walks to the center stage and quotes from the second chapter of the Gospel according to Luke, verses 8 through 14:

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were so afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and goodwill towards men.'"

After reciting Luke, Linus then walks over to his friend and says, "That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."

Indeed, it is.
