School Forgets Christmas (DOH!)
School Forgets Christmas

SPOKANE, Wash. -- They made a list, but they should have checked it twice.

In a December newsletter to the families of elementary school students, Spokane Public Schools' list of "important dates" didn't include Christmas.

Hanukkah, Human Rights Day, winter break, the Islamic holy day Eid al-Adha, first day of winter and Kwanzaa all made the list. But no Christmas.

"It was absolutely an error of omission," district spokeswoman Terren Roloff said. "In our efforts to be inclusive, we missed the obvious."

6. O'Reilly attacked our school district last year because
they used the word holiday instead of Christmas. It was so stupid.
He launched one of his huge email attacks and practically brought
the district's website to a halt.
