[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school likely doesn't want to to offend you.  They want to make an inclusive environment   I think it's kind of overkill too but what's the big deal about completing a form in a private school?  They want to know what holidays the families who pay good money in tuition celebrate. [/quote]

Clearly op won’t be offended. Not everyone is a delicate flower who needs to be catered to.  Maybe they’re atheists who are open to all religions? [/quote]

OP clearly IS a delicate flower becauseliterally an innocuous form and email offends her. [/quote]

Dp, yeah, I wouldn’t say delicate flower, but it’s just a form and an email. It’s not a big deal. Clearly many people on this thread didn’t understand OPs reluctance to answer. The teacher probably didn’t either.[/quote]

They left it blank for a reason. They don't want their kid to be excluded from these activities because they are fine with them celebrating it at school. They probably don't want the child to feel isolated when the decorate Santa or make a gingerbread house or whatever.  Something probably happened at school and OP disclosed they don't holiday shop. A lot of people will casually ask if you finished Christmas shopping. [/quote]

Bingo. Writing down that they don't celebrate all the Christian holidays will mean their child can't do a lot of fun stuff. Gluing cotton balls on Santa is fun and helps with fine motor skills. [/quote]
