Plus:

It\'s almost over, but this month is\\xa0Openly Secular Month!

School administrators in Montgomery County, Maryland have\\xa0removed "Christmas" and "Yom Kippur" from the school calendar\\xa0rather than add the Muslim holiday of Eid al Adha. Kids still get off on \\xa0Christmas and Yom Kippur, but the holidays just won\'t get listed as such. So much for inclusiveness.

Finally, in Fayette County, Georgia, county commissioner David Barlow (a Republican) greeted newly elected commisioner Pota Coston (an African-American and a Democrat) by issuing a statement bemoaning the "evil" of the "Demoncrats" and vowing to ensure a Republican wins the White House in 2016 "in the mighty name of Jesus." He later issued a non-apology apology, blaming his stupidity on his "passion for Jesus Christ" (which is probably correct but for different reasons). It\'s not surprising that such morons exist, but it is disturbing that they get elected.
