Item: School district newsletter omits Christmas from list: Officials apologize for 'honest mistake'/Amy Cannata, Spokesman-Review

More Info: Hanukkah, Human Rights Day, winter break, the Islamic holy day Eid al-Adha, first day of winter and Kwanzaa all made the list, but Spokane Public Schools snubbed Christmas. Yuletide was left off a list of "important dates" in a December newsletter sent to elementary school students' families, drawing complaints from some parents that in an age of political correctness, Christians are being overlooked in favor of other cultures and beliefs.

Question: "Honest, unfortunate mistake"? A Freudian slip? Or something sinister?
