  Because this is America. I had to buy a history textbook in high school. Good thing we have enough money for a genocide though /s

  It’s most likely a private school.

    “Private school” is what Basic Training should be called.

  And why is a school doing a nativity.

  I’m Christian and have taken part in dozens of nativity, but none at school.

    Many (but not all) private schools in the US are religious. From elementary school through college I attended Catholic affiliated schools. This sort of display would not be allowed at most public schools, and the ones that would allow it would be sued.

      Yeah, this isn’t unusual for a religious school.

      I remember, as a little girl, playing the part of the angel Gabriel… except I thought the character was named Gabrielle. The only reason I tried for the part was because I thought it was the only explicitly female role, besides Mary (and my unpopular ass wasn’t about to complete for the role of Prima Donna.)

      It was a huge let down to find out that Gabriel was yet another male character in the perpetual sausage-fest that is The Holy Bible. Combined with how practically nothing was written about how Jesus would’ve been as a child, I never understood how I was supposed to relate to anything in that book.
