Terms 'Christmas' and 'Thanksgiving' banned at school

A Brooklyn principal is generating controversy for her removal of certain traditions at her school.

The New York Post reports that Eujin Kim of PS 169 has put an end to recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance as well as references to Santa Claus, Christmas, and Thanksgiving.

In fact, the latter terms are being broadly referred to as "winter celebrations" and the "harvest festival," respectively.

These new policies were reportedly communicated to staff in a memo that referred to students' diverse families and that "not all children celebrate the same holidays."

PTA officials were also notified of the changes, and the president has said they include a ban on stars which can have a religious association.


Oy. What's next? A ban on breathing?

Every child in an American school has the right NOT to celebrate traditional American holidays.

However, every American school receiving taxpayer funding should celebrate traditional American holidays, no question. If someone is offended, they can go to chaperoned study in the cafeteria.

Why not just keep religion at home?

Is this actually a ban or just a change in policy? Will students be punished for using the terms Christmas or Thanksgiving, or wearing clothing in those themes? What about teachers, are they banned from any Christmas or Thanksgiving decoration on clothing or jewelry, etc.?

If the school wants to call it winter celebration instead of Christmas, meh, that's fine.

Religion is part of the American tradition. If you don't like the history of the country, too bad.

That said, Christmas may also be celebrated in a secular manner, as may they all.

This shit has gone way too far. ANd folks wonder why Trump is wanted.

I can get behind this. There is no reason that "Christmas" should be celebrated at school. I also support their decision to remove the pledge of allegiance.​

Doesn't that do away with freedom of religion?

Well, tht is iron clad proof that conservatives are right, if the Goddess Shitara is in disagreement, we MUST be right.

So we should just impose religion on people then, because it's tradition. You don't like us waking you up at 5am with loud noise over speakers and forcing you to go to pray, then feck off and go to another country.

The pity of it is we should be celebrating all traditions. That's how we have learned about our neighbors traditions and they have learned about ours.

I remember one great teacher I had who loved to throw a potluck where every child would bring a dish from their parents or grandparents homeland that they immigrated from. I remember falling in love with Caribbean w/jerk and curries. These days some asshole progressive would be calling for her to be fired.

It's getting out and out stupid.

Letting kids have a vacation around holiday time is not an imposition, jack ass.
