[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]They don't want their kid to be excluded from these activities because they are fine with them celebrating it at school.[/b] 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]

They could just say  "We don't celebrate any holidays in our home, but are eager for our son to participate fully in any holidays celebrated at the school."[/quote]

That's may not be true. Most people celebrate something. Some people leave things blank because they don't think it's necessary to give out information if they want the kids to participate. [/quote]

Well, obviously the school feels it's necessary and as a private school they can require it.[/quote]

Maybe when registering but not mid year. The school is being nosy. If op was asking why did Tommy color Santa Claus that would be different. [/quote]
