Elementary, middle and high school students in Arizona have been chosen to provide 4,000 hand-made Christmas ornaments for the national Christmas tree this year. However, any reference or allusion to religion is strictly verboten:
Guidelines for the ornaments include specifications for their size, weight, composition, and the directive that “Ornaments cannot reflect a religious or political theme… Instead share your interpretation of our theme ‘Arizona’s Gift, from the Grand Canyon State.'”
