Sanity wins: School tosses principal’s ban on Santa, Pledge of Allegiance
NY Post ^ | 12/15/15 | Susan Edelman and Natalie Musumeci

Sanity — and Santa — have been restored at a Brooklyn public elementary school where St. Nick was banned, the Pledge of Allegiance was dropped and Thanksgiving was replaced with a "harvest festival."

The good news arrived at PS 169 in Sunset Park on Monday morning, a day after The Post exposed the bizarre PC extremism of Principal Eujin Jaela Kim.

District 15 Superintendent Anita Skop stormed in the front door at 9:50 a.m., and minutes later, two fifth-grade boys were brought to the main office to lead a recital over the public address system of the Pledge of Allegiance, teachers told The Post.

As The Post reported on Sunday, the pledge hadn't been said over the loudspeakers since the beginning of the school year. Kim, 33, became principal in May 2014.

Santa Claus is now reinstated at the school, and Department of Education officials said on Monday that the Pledge of Allegiance will be recited over the PA system every morning, in response to concerns from the community.

"It never would have happened if The Post didn't do the story. That's the only way we got our voices heard," PTA president Mimi Ferrer said. Principal Eujin Jaela Kim

"I'm ecstatic that Santa can come back. Hopefully, he can make a visit to the kids in our school for our winter celebration on Thursday."

At a school leadership team meeting last week, Kim told staffers, "Do not celebrate Christmas, do not celebrate gift-gifting, do not celebrate Santa. We need to be respectful," according to a school source.

"Christmas is a Christian celebration and something that is tied to religion," Kim told them, according to the source. snip “I apologize for any confusion this may have caused," Kim wrote in the email.

“I apologize for any confusion this may have caused,"
No, sweetie you only apologized because you got called out on your bullshiite. The Chinese take outs in Sunset Park should come out with a new dish in her "honor", Sum Dum B*tch. Of course, the rhetorical question of the day, would deBLAHsio proclaim her educator of the year if the school recognized ramadan and had the girls cover themselves in some kind of schmata?

She should be fired. If Trump was running the schools, she would not have been hired.

Of course, I do not know for sure, but maybe the be yotch is a racist, and perceives these holidays as "white people's holidays," so she is against them. Who knows for sure?

Stupid Trump reference. An amoeba running the school wouldn't have hired her. And BTW I haven't heard where Trump is all that pro-Christian.

The principal’s contract must have a Sanity Clause.

As I said on another version of this thread, it is not enough that the popular Christmas symbols be restored. She only gave in when it became apparent that she'd overstepped her limits. The next time, she'll just be more subtle. And there WILL be a next time.

Which is why she must be fired. Not reprimanded. Not embarrassed (liberals don't have any conscience, so cannot be embarrassed). She needs to have her career permanently set back by this arrogant overreach.

Not so. School admins are full of liberal trash, who hire liberal teachers. I suggest you look at public schools and who is running them. The enemy infiltrated the leadership long ago.

This “inclusive” bullshite has to end. If people want to come to our country, they need to embrace our culture. If they don’t like our culture, stay the hell out.

“Sum Dum B*tch.”

“Sum Dim Ho” sounds more authentically Asian! /s;)

According to the linked article, the change in policy is justified by the fact that Santa Claus is "a holiday symbol with secular dimensions"

Regardless of its "secular dimensions" Santa Claus is also known as "Saint Nicholas", clearly a reference to a religious figure.

The problem is not that there are religious references in schools. The problem is that atheists and others have attempted to EXCLUDE religion where such exclusion is unjustified. That is why we now have a hodge-podge of different policies, none of which make sense.

When the day arrives that INCLUSION becomes the goal, we will start making progress on returning freedom of religion to all Americans. (Not freedom FROM religion.)
