In December, we briefly discussed the celebration of religious holidays in schools. How do you feel about this? What about in public places?
We concluded that the topic was not nearly as controversial in Spain as in the U.S., where it is subject to a very enthusiastic debate. If you're interested, check out this opinion article http://www.thenewamerican.com/culture/family/10172-atheists-continue-war-on-christmas or http://www.waronchristmas.com/, which gives you an idea of one side of the coin, and an on the other, an opinion article that dismisses the idea that there is a "War on Christmas": http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeff-schweitzer/war-on-christmas_b_1142492.html .
This cartoon is an example of the hyperbole characteristic of the debate. What do you think of it?
