[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many unnecessarily aggressive responses. Not all religious groups are OK with observing Christian holidays, even the practices that others might view as completely secular or cultural.

Personally I would be mildly annoyed to come across something like this too, though not really surprised. If it's a one-time fluke, I'd just let it go. But if the school is consistently bringing specific religious observances into unrelated classroom activities, it might be worth bringing to the attention of admin.[/quote]

Well, not all religious groups are OK with observing the other holidays the schools celebrate but tolerate it.  See how that goes.

It’s ridiculous that people on here are saying not to observe 2 of the biggest Christian holidays when 70% of the US population are Christians so likely 3 out of 4 kids at the school are Christian.

People like you who want to cater to only the minority and denounce the majority is the reason why the liberals/dems lose support of moderates to the crazy right.   [/quote]

The US has no state religion; that's a founding principle of this country. Christmas and Easter events, merchandise, media inundate our collective conscience for two months of every year. There are so, so many opportunities for people to celebrate, so I don't really understand why it's so important for you to also have celebrations in a state-funded public school.

"People like me." I'm a moderate who has never aligned with a political party. I'm also a religious minority. My kid is also probably telling your kid Santa isn't real while they finger paint Santa hats during art class.[/quote]

Again, this is DC, ma’am. Ms Smith has been doing the bunny art project with the Kindergartners for two decades. [/quote]
