I have NEVER seen this done in either public or private school, including Christian schools.

Now, it is African American History. No more George or Abe.


Pretty sure George and Abe are covered plenty in history lessons.


Not in elementary school.

FCPS clearly ignores the celebration of Christianity in their program:

Today, a Christian market was attacked in Magdeburg, Germany. Reports of 11 fatalities and 60 injuries. Definitely a hate crime. Please stop putting down Christmas, the celebration of Jesus Christ, around Christmas time. Enough!

No, thank goodness.

Turn it around: Do you want your child writing letters of atonement/forgiveness for Yom Kippur or Eid?

Religious holidays have no place in public schools. Santa is not Jesus, but there is no Santa in any tradition except Christianity.

Meh, I'll take any opportunity for my kid to use a pencil and write something. They could write to Krampus for all I care.

How many days left? Can we start counting the advent of TikTok being removed from US devices?
