No one's taking Christmas out of schools on Texas governor's watch

Throw out your "holiday tree" and dust off your Nativity set: Christmas is coming to Texas schools. Gov. Rick Perry signed a "Merry Christmas" bill protecting the celebration of religious holidays in public schools Thursday, saying, "Religious freedom does not mean freedom from religion." The signing ceremony was jolly, attended by bell-ringing, bearded Santas in bright summer clothes and a cluster of high school cheerleaders wearing red "I cheer for Jesus" T-shirts. Flanking Perry: a man calling himself "Santa G" (who griped he'd been "persona non grata in Texas schools for too long") and an either amused or confused rabbi, who quipped, "I thought this was the 'Happy Hanukkah' law."
