THIS DAY IN HISTORY MAR. 8

     On March 8, 1948 the Supreme Court ruled that religious instruction in public schools violated the Constitution.
In my opinion, this was taken to an extreme when it was later decided that public school students could no longer sing Christmas carols. Carols are an intrinsic part of the American culture (they are permitted to read Dicken's Christmas Carol aren't they?) Couldn't they at least sing 'non-religious' ones like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer or is Rudolph controversial as well?
