[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few kids were singing Christmas carols at a charter school at recess--the kind that begin, "Jingle Bells/Santa smells." [b]A teacher came up to them and told them to stop,[/b] since not everyone celebrates Christmas. 
Lord, give me strength to survive the holiday season. [/quote]

Were you there? Do you know the circumstances or the reason the teacher would giv?. I am not usually THAT sympathetic to teachers,  but really, to have a forum where one in the moment quick decision is reviewed for four pages by folks analyzing its political and theological meaning must be infuriating.

Word. I'm a teacher. I would wager that the kids were being loud and repetitive with a silly song, and some of the kids who usually eat Pop-tarts for breakfast were about to start joining in chorus, so the teacher quickly shushed them by saying what she did, which wasn't the best snap decision but was kinder than telling them to STFU with the Batman song.[/quote]
