BELTON, Texas – A Texas judge ruled Thursday that “A Charlie Brown Christmas” poster that quoted the Bible can go back up on a school employee’s office door after a principal forced her to remove it.
Bell County Judge Jack Jones issued a restraining order against the Killeen Independent School District that prohibits officials at Patterson Middle School from removing a poster on nurse aide Dedra Shannon’s office door, the Killeen Daily Herald reports.linusdoor
Shannon wanted students to know the true meaning of Christmas, so she decorated her office door with “A Charlie Brown Christmas” theme. The decorations featuring Brown’s buddy Linus van Pelt reciting the Bible from the pivotal scene in the cherished holiday special, alongside a scrawny Christmas tree.
“For unto you is born this day in the City of David a savior which is Christ the Lord,” the quote read. “That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”
