This isn’t cancel culture. It’s standing up to religion creeping its way into public education.

Ok, that’s shouldn’t be allowed either
I really really wish we'd just give the religious right their vouchers and kick them out of public school once and for all. How celebrating a community's religious and cultural differences is upsetting is beyond me. I'm an atheist. And an attorney. The Iftar dinner in and of itself is not at all legally or ethically objectionable. It's after hours. It's not being funded by the school. It's parent and teacher volunteers.
And what the h&ll is an Easter celebration? Like a ham or something? Don't you all do that on the WHOLE FORKING WEEK PLUS A MONDAY YOU GET OFF IN APS EVERY YEAR????? I'm on the PTA, if you want a ham dinner, please let us know. I'll bring one myself. Just for you.
I’m PP and also an atheist public school teacher.

Who should I contact within APS to voice my concerns about the school hosting a religious event?
The Supreme Court? But I’ll save you the trouble, they’ve already said this was kosher.
Which decision?

DHMS hosted a Passover Seder last year.
Omg. Why??? I thought schools and religion were supposed to stay separated in the US.
Who said that?

Not OP, but surely you are aware that a large portion of the right wing in this country wants to use schools for Christian indoctrination. Ironically, allowing schools to organize/host “minority” religious (or religious adjacent) functions gives the right wing the ammunition to shoehorn in their preferred religious observations, eventually to the exclusion of all others. There is a big push for Christianity to be decreed the official religion of the US.
There needs to be a hard line between schools and religion, full stop.
Yes, I was being facetious. Why are they so scared of ONE event that their precious white kids wont go to anyhow, when they want to go full on Hands Maids tale.

I wonder if these dinners are actually okay based on a past court rulings that allows public schools to host Christmas Pageants for example. The separation of church and state for schools has never been well defined and recent court cases have allowed coaches to pray with the team prior to games, or baccalaureate services for graduating seniors at houses of worship to continue.
“school activities that recognize seasonal religious holidays are permitted as long as they have a secular educational purpose and do not promote the religious beliefs or traditions of those involved (Florey v. Sioux Falls School District, 8th Cir., 1980)”

Contact the Freedom From Religion Foundation or ACLU if you are too OP
