[quote=Anonymous]It serves no one to try to explain Holy Days to children without basic religious education. Learning about various religious practices in the world, and the fascinating stories behind them, is a critical part of a child's development and it builds their tolerance and understanding of others. Most people in the world are mere "cultural" followers of their region or community's religion - they don't think too deeply about the deep meaning of their belief system. But religious underpinnings form the basis of every culture, so as parents we need to address them, with respect. But none of this is the place of public school. I don't think the teacher should have opened that Pandora's box, honestly. Public school should stick to seasonal, ie, meteorological, acknowledgements. Stick to making paper snowflakes. [/quote]
