Get a ruling that allows this.  School would not have canceled the event if there was no legal concern.[/quote]

There is no “legal” concern. WTF?

lol did you even read your own link (spoiler no you didn't)

[b]Public schools may not celebrate or observe holidays as religious events[/b], nor may schools promote or disparage such celebration or observance by students. Students may observe or otherwise recognize religious holidays to the same extent that they may engage in comparable nonreligious activities.[/quote]

You need to work on your reading comprehension. These events are being organized by individuals, not the school. They aren't school events.

I did not realize that the group had rented space at the school and the school canceled the contract. Generally speaking that should not be allowed and you would probably have a strong case against the school. Hopefully they returned the rental fee immediately. [/quote]

No outside group rented space for this event.

The school organized and promoted the event. That’s why it was canceled. [/quote]

LIES.

The [u]school[/u] did not organize or promote the event. Neither did they for the Chanukah or Christmas events.

These events were organized by [u]individuals[/u], teachers or families. The events are on the calendar and get communicated out just like anything else hosted at the school.

It was on the website and the contact information was an APSVA email. Do you see how that could be viewed as a school sponsored event?[/quote]

And yet, it’s not. You would know this if you were part of the community.

MYOB.
