From the Denver Post: A Douglas County charter school will no longer participate in a Christmas donation program for disadvantaged children because of the threat of a lawsuit.
SkyView Academy received a letter from the American Humanist Association threatening legal action if the school was a part of Operation Christmas Child, said Lorrie Grove, SkyView Academy board president.
"We felt shocked and disappointed," she said. "It was hard to believe we were receiving a threatening letter based on the good intentions of our students."
An email from the school to parents, informing them of the situation and decision, was sent out last week, just days before donations were scheduled to be collected.
The Samaritan's Purse, a non-denominational Christian organization, sends shoeboxes filled with hygiene items, candy and gifts — and a Gospel message — to children around the world.
A group of SkyView students have been participating in the program for the past two years as part of their chosen community service project, Grove said.
Kimberly Saviano, president of the Humanists of Colorado, a local chapter of American Humanist Association, said she was unaware who sent the letter, but she agreed with what it said.
"I love the idea of the gifts to children, but there are certain proprieties tied with something like this, and that is when they go off the rails," Saviano said.

So, a bunch of disadvantage kids will not get help they need from this school because some humanist has a bug up their butt about a simple message they apparently are afraid of.
Obviously, these humanists don't really care about other humans, they only care about their selfish selves.
