[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - it's clear most of the people responding are either Christian or not in a religious minority.  You have every right to be bothered by this.  Besides currently being Ramadan, Purim and Holi both fall before Easter.

I agree, whether this is actually a First Amendment issue likely depends on exactly what the activity was (it likely was not, i.e. Santa, menorahs, etc.).  But you still have every right to be upset about it.  When your kids come home home with FOMO about Easter and Christmas is hard.  I don't care if they've been largely removed from their religious origins, I'm still trying to raise my kids to be proud about our own traditions, but when they're constantly exposed to Santa and Easter bunnies it's harder - an no, we will not voluntarily participate in even "Secular" aspects of those holidays.[/quote]

Nope, my kid is not being raised Christian. I’ve just been in DC schools long enough to understand the overall context. If you want your kids to celebrate Holi in school then YOU need to organize it. I’m sure the school will be excited to host you. [/quote]
