We’re heading into the holidays, and I feel like I’m in handcuffs. When did Christianity become some subversive, horrible cult that is never to be spoken about? I can teach my students about spinning a dreidel, but I can’t wish them a “Merry Christmas.” I am instructed to show my students a kinara and share with them the tenets of Kwanza, but I can’t display an advent candle wreath. I can talk about my Hindi students’ Festival of Lights and have them share their celebrations, but I can’t have them make a craft with a Santa Claus on it. Are you kidding me? Santa Claus doesn’t even have anything to do with the birth of Jesus! What kid doesn’t love Santa Claus? How is Santa Claus harmful or offensive? What did Santa Claus ever do to you, World?
