Ok, that’s shouldn’t be allowed either

I really really wish we'd just give the religious right their vouchers and kick them out of public school once and for all. How celebrating a community's religious and cultural differences is upsetting is beyond me. I'm an atheist. And an attorney. The Iftar dinner in and of itself is not at all legally or ethically objectionable. It's after hours. It's not being funded by the school. It's parent and teacher volunteers.

And what the h&ll is an Easter celebration? Like a ham or something? Don't you all do that on the WHOLE FORKING WEEK PLUS A MONDAY YOU GET OFF IN APS EVERY YEAR????? I'm on the PTA, if you want a ham dinner, please let us know. I'll bring one myself. Just for you.

I’m PP and also an atheist public school teacher.

Redundant.

Apparently not if teachers are leading this Iftar

DHMS hosted a Passover Seder last year.

Great! My school only explicitly acknowledges Muslim holidays

What school? every school in arlington acknowledges all holidays including Jewish, Christian, and Hindo. Do you attend a private school? or are you in another district? and if so, get out of this chat...

It’s off the Hamm website

Bullshirt. If you are a public school teacher, I'm the Easter bunny.

Again, how is celebrating Iftar after hours legally objectionable? Are you really suggesting that the mere presences of teachers is the objection? Or just that it occurs at a school? Again, do you also object about spring break being beholden to the Christian calendar?

Congratulations your crazy Islamophobes. Stop hiding behind your liberalism. You've been emboldened by the right that you claim to be standing up against. You disgust me with your intolerance.

nah... none of these people are mad about the fact that all of the days off coincide with Christian holidays. And they will never object to all the 'holiday' events that happen around Christmans and Hanukkah. The truth is clear.

As some of us said at the beginning of the thread, the issue is not the Iftar being held at the school, it’s the advertising of it as a school sponsored event. If a community wanted to rent the space no big deal. And FWIW I advocate for spring break to be aligned with the end of third quarter. I don’t celebrate Easter and don’t care if we are off for it.

Sure but there was no such outage during the Passover Seder was there?

Hilarious. I guarantee you would have been ashamed to do this before Trump became president. But Islamophobia is in vogue these days. Congratulations on winning. And I don't believe your crap for a second. This was meant as a celebration of a culture to bring people together and increase understanding. Not a school event in which religious scripture was going to be taught. Any way... Congratulations on making your country a worse place to live today.

If you are not a parent in the school, what right do you have to interfere?

If you are not a parent at the school, why do you feel it's appropriate to comment?

Because we’re parents in the district
