Liberty Counsel offered to represent the Concord Community School District free of charge, after the Freedom From Religion Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union sued the school this week to end its 30-year-old Christmas Spectacular.

Contrary to the allegations in the lawsuit, it is constitutional for a Christmas performance to include a live nativity along with Christmas carols, so long as there are sufficient secular elements and songs in the performance.

The 2014 Christmas Spectacular consisted of numerous secular elements, including three large light-up Christmas trees, students dressed as elves, Santa Clauses, and Nutcracker toy soldiers. The ninety-nine minute performance concluded with students performing a twenty-minute, narrated, live Nativity Scene, with the Biblical Christmas story and traditional Christmas carols, such as “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.”

Every year the cold winds of secularism blow in trying to extinguish the joys of Christmas. Again this year, Liberty Counsel is defending public organizations against the secularists’ bullying and threats.
