Humanists in America are attempting to ban the practice of getting school children to fill shoeboxes with gifts to send to children in deprived parts of the world.

The American Humanist Association wants to stop Operation Christmas Child, run by Franklin Graham's organisaton Samaritan's Purse, from promoting the shoebox scheme.

The goals of the scheme include evangelism and discipleship.

The court case came in the official collection week for the shoeboxes, packed by children throughout the world with pens, colouring pencils, paper, small toys and other gifts for sending to countries in Africa and elsewhere.

The American Humanist Association filed the original lawsuit  in 2014 and then appealed  in February this Year. 

The association's Humanist Legal Center is arguing against the scheme on the grounds of the First Amendment, which ensures freedom of religion and the separation of church and state

Why don't these people start their own parallel organization? What do they do at Christmas or at any time of the year that is comparable to what Samaritan's Purse does? They must be such miserable people.
