[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Update: their class watched another video about Christmas today. This time, my kindergartener said he learned that "a man and a woman had to travel a long way to find shelter and that woman had a baby in her belly and that baby was Jesus."[/quote]

Your kid should tell them that Jesus wasn't even born in winter or December. The whole holiday is borrowed from other religions and traditions (though they all are)[/quote]
I don't need to turn my kid into a crusader against Christianity. I'm not trying to own the Christians or begrudge them their beliefs. I just don't think they should be teaching my Jewish kid about Jesus in public school. Leave those lessons for Sunday school.[/quote]

Do you think mentioning Christmas is when the birth of Jesus is celebrated by Christians is "teaching" religion? Is mentioning the Russian Revolution "teaching" Communism?  Next year explain why Chanukah is celebrated. It's not "teaching" Judaism.
