SUMMARY: The Third Circuit held, following precedent, that a school ban on religious holiday songs does not violate the Establishment Clause by creating an anti-religious cultural regime.

Jurist, November 27, 2009.

COMMENT: This holding may be good law, this Court had no choice in this case, but exclusively secular Christmas music isn’t worth much artistically.  Its like hot chocolate without the chocolate.
