[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS teacher wore Ganesh socks and a bindi to talk about Diwali. That was inappropriate (many levels) and so are Easter egg hunts. Leave religion to parents, please. Can go visit plant library or farm to learn about Spring as a time for birth new things. [/quote] You're missing the point. Teacher talking about Diwali is not the issue. There's nothing wrong with sharing about Easter either. Discussing religious/cultural heritage and forced participation in a holiday celebration are two very different things. [/quote] Teacher wearing the name of a deity on her feet and a bindi is pretty offensive. Hard to defend. Easter egg hunts are similarly inappropriate. Plenty of alternative ways to celebrate seasons without injecting religion in -teachers really aren’t equipped to do this in a way that doesn’t feel exclusionary or facile.
