One mother complains and annual Kindergarten trip to see Santa cancelled

[Ravi]

Just imagine if a school had children write in Arabic script about Mo. Oh, wait, we saw that meltdown shut down an entire school district.

This is just another Jew bashing thread.

Looks that way. Pretty revolting.

Anytime someone is whining you can almost rest assured it's a liberal. They have whining down to a science

Again, the article only states that this woman is Jewish, it says nothing about her being a liberal.

And there appears to be a contradiction right here...

So is leftist bigotry towards Jews

You claim lefties hate Jews, but the woman in the article is Jewish, and you now claim she's a lefty?

Apparently you are off your rocker.

The Bible states the Jews are God's chosen...this was toooooooo easy

The schools up here forbid kids from bringing Valentines to class a few years ago... It's getting stupid.

It's a pain in the ass.....all the kid's have to buy Valentine's and write names when they can't even write. That means working parents like me are stressing. If they want to do it, make the Valentine's in class like we used to.

Here we used to celebrate mayday, too. With a maypole and girls in dresses and the whole shebang. It was a huge event when my mom was young...the girls wore formals and had their picture taken.

And snuck to hang May Baskets on people's front door. They'd ring the bell and run...
We stopped celebrating it because the USSR chose May 1st as their Independence Day or whatever.

Yes! We used to make may baskets at school, same thing.

no i am saying if one religion should only be practiced at home then apply that to all religions....simple solution to what seems to be a major problem for christians

The "major problem" as you put it goes way beyond Christianity.
In America, Christmas celebrations are in our country's DNA. Whether you are religious or not, the vast majority of us have always celebrated everything about it from our own homes, workplaces, schools, stores, everywhere.
More and more we see asshole liberals attempting to tear our traditions down. You are so afraid someone may be offended, you demand a society that if all groups cannot be recognized, then no group should.
Problem is, you people forget that you're offending us. Why aren't you concerned about that ?

Ahhhhhh, the fake 'war on christmas' continues to be hyped.

70% of the population is self described as 'christian' so apparently Americans wage war on themselves once a year at this time.

You know, the time when Jesus speaks of peace on Earth.

One lib complained and the spineless School administrators cancelled the trip for a classroom full of children.


This isn't American Christians waging war of themselves, this is Godless Liberals waging war on their fellow Citizens.

are you actually claiming that there are no Christian liberals?


here's a thought on the separation of church and state... maybe if religious zealots weren't constantly having political hissy fits over "their money" paying for private issues of their fellow citizens, then maybe non-religious tax payers wouldn't have been so interested in standing up and holding them to account for what their tax dollars pay for..like field trips to visit Santa.

There is nothing in the article that indicates this woman is a liberal, only that she's Jewish.

This is the sort of thing that happens when liberals are in charge. Liberals shit their pants every time they think someone may be offended, so traditions need to stop according to these pricks.

In my town JEHOVAH WITNESS people have similar objections For my part the idea of walking a kindergarten class to a local café is REALLY IDIOTIC-----in my kindergarten years-------the FATTEST JANITOR (who happened ---btw ---to be a jew) dressed up in his santa costume-----complete with cotton puff beard stuck on his chin -----AND HO HO HO HO'ed his way thru the kindergarten and first grade
classes and all the kids shouted " HI, MR. TAYLOR" we all had a good time,
protestants, catholics, and jews

Ho Ho Ho I wish I had a Ho.

To the phony Irish twit, Jews are only good for using as tools.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

The school acted stupidly. They should have found something else for the girl to do instead of punishing the entire class.

Shocking, coming from you.
Aren't you afraid and crapping your skirt that this woman may be offended if the tradition goes forward ?
For gods sake she may get her feelings hurt !!

One, not much of a tradition.
Two, not seeing Santa is a War on CHRISTmas? Interesting...

That's not a tradition in this country, so we say no to it.

they never should have been going in the first place. what's the educational value? what's it do for the kids that don't believe in santa, or the parents that don't want their kids to believe in santa? what's it do for the poor kids that won't be getting anything from santa?

dumb trip and past time to end it.

She's an American Jew, she's very likely a Dimocrat.
This is something liberals continually do anyway. They work daily to trash and tear down our traditions.

So the school should set up an activity the child (and any other children that won't attend) can do while the other kids visit Santa. Seems like such an easy solution. I don't understand this mentality where the majority has to pay because a small minority are offended. If they want to plan activities for Jewish kids, Muslim, etc go ahead. Just set up and activity the others kids can do if they choose not to attend.

so now you have a split class, with some going and some staying. of course, you'd need supervision for both, and since you're leaving the school with kids you already need more supervision than usual.
much easier, and smarter, just to cancel the stupid trip
