[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why OP is being so secretive. People can generally tell who you area and where you're from by your names and what your kid talks about at school.[/quote]

I’m PP who is a non-Christian first generation American. For whatever reason, no one can ever tell that I’m not a run of the mill White girl unless I say something. My parents changed our last name and my first name is super generic. Either way, people like me have found it easier to keep our background quiet because it’s easier to deal with than when we share. If I sense that you’re not a bigot, I’ll share. Otherwise, nope.[/quote]

What is a run of the mill white girl? Ever think they are living secret lives just like you? You're judging those books by their covers.[/quote]

Secret lives? No, I just assume that not everyone wants to provide a personality profile, DNA test and/or family tree to have a professional/casual relationship with me. I don’t feel the need to do so either.

I don’t judge books by their covers, I judge by actions and experiences. My experience is that oriole who claim to be progressive /very Liberal types are hands down the biggest racists and bigots. I don’t hang out with Aryan nationalists, so my only basis of comparison is moderates and mainstream conservatives.

Either way, a nosy teacher/administration demanding to know OP’s religious views is highly inappropriate and crosses the line on so many levels. [/quote]

Delivery is everything. They could have asked if there were any holidays they didn't want the kids to celebrate since she mentioned they don't celebrate Christmas but demanding to fill out some dumb form mid year is inappropriate.  [/quote]
