[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why was it cancelled?

They didn't mention why they cancelled in the email. Was it because of a-hole parents complaining?

(funny how those a-hole parents didn't complain about Chanukah or Christmas events)

What was the Christmas event?[/quote]

Food drive and gift wrapping.

That’s not a Christmas event that’s charity. [/quote]

It’s a different type of event but they still used school space and communication tools [b]to host people gathering for events related to Christmas[/b].

Religious-related events happen at school. You either have to allow them all or none.

Did the people complaining the Iftar also complain about the Chanukah event?

Events "related to Christmas" are not Christmas events. People of no religious belief whatsoever "celebrate" Christmas. But gift-giving is not Christmas. And collecting food and wrapping gifts is not a religious observance. I'm Christian and I object to your classification of these things as anything remotely a religious event or observance.[/quote]

They are events run by Christians that are based their religious beliefs. Gift giving and helping others is certainly how many/most Christians observe Christmas. Maybe to you that isn’t “holy” enough to count but it’s still a religious-related event.

Just like the Chanukah event and the Iftar event.

All or none.
