SELLERSBURG, Ind. — A state senator says he plans to introduce legislation that would provide legal protection to public schools and teachers that want to celebrate Christmas in their classrooms.
Sen. Jim Smith, R-Charlestown, told WTHR-TV that he believes Christmas is under attack and being stolen from children. He says his bill would give educators and public schools legal immunity for Christmas activity.
The bill is modeled after the Merry Christmas bill that already passed the state legislature in Texas. That law removes legal risks of saying “Merry Christmas” in schools while also protecting traditional holiday symbols, such as a menorah or nativity scene, as long as more than one religion and a secular symbol are also reflected.
Smith says teachers are afraid to acknowledge Christmas customs because they fear lawsuits.
