Gov Sanders rejects demand from legal group to undo Christmas closure: 'I will do no such thing'

 Arkansas Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is firing back at a legal group who took issue with her recent move to close state offices on Friday, December 26 to celebrate Christmas and give employees more time with their families.

After issuing a proclamation closing state offices for Christmas, Sanders received a letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), a group focused on the separation of church and state, calling for her to reverse the move and claiming it was unconstitutional.

In a response letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, Sanders told FFRF she "will do no such thing."

"You say that my communications as Governor must be neutral on matters of religion," Sanders wrote. "I say that, even if I wanted to do that, it would be impossible. Christmas is not simply an ‘end-of-the-year holiday’ with ‘broadly observed secular cultural aspects,’ as your letter states. It’s not gifts, trees, and stockings that make this holiday special. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, and if we are to honor Him properly, we should tell His miraculous, world-changing story properly, too."...............

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

"Gov Sanders rejects demand from legal group to undo Christmas closure: 'I will do no such thing'"

I'm on record in this forum for stating that women have no place in high political office. I still believe that.

But somehow, I find Sarah Sanders interesting. In several instances, she has demonstrated a strong will for the correct principles... "The Right Stuff".

I'm almost (I said, "almost") thinking that she could be a strong contender for the vice presidential candidate with J.D. Vance in 2028...

The more governments tell the FFRF to FO, the better.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
