Atheist Opposes Christmas Pageant as Public School Religion
Newark New York report shows Arthur Cromwell, a proclaimed atheist from Pultneyville, denouncing a Newark High School Christmas pageant as church revival. He calls Christmas displays “bootlegging of religion” into public schools while praising the 120 voice choir and school staff. He plans to file a protest with the State Department of Education after viewing Williamson Central School’s pageant. Cromwell cites prior fights against school religious classes in Wayne County and references the Vashti McCollum case that reached the U.S. Supreme Court. A separate item notes a 35-year-old man killed in a car crash near Glassboro, New Jersey.
