When kids are leaving school with no concept of the English language, books are banned, and we rank very low internationally in math and science, I can see why parents and freepers might be miffed at “multicultural day”. It's ludicrous and a waste of time. What ever happened to standard geography lessons??

"This is upsetting to Ms. Samour as the tattoos were given the week before Christmas when Leah would be frequently photographed."

Lovely scorpion tailbon the left hand. So in keeping with Christian traditions.

"It's upsetting to go through Christmas with another religion's celebratory symbolism all over my daughter's hands,' Ms. Samour told KHOU. "

"The school points out however that they did notify parents that their children would be getting henna tattoos as part of Multicultural Day, where they also learned about the cultures of Spain, the United States, Australia and Israel."

And it is just a coincidence that these long lived stains were applied to all the naive young children during Christmas week. Given the complexity of the Hindu design, it's doubtful time was left for the other cultures. Perhaps Aboriginal body paint designs got short shrift, as well as the oppressed Arab Isreali flowing Islamic script, Allahu-ak-bar, Death to America, Death to Isreal, or the. islamic cultural contributions to Spain.

Having seen grade school kids asking to receive water soluble face paints the kids called "tattoos", I'm sure that this is what the parents thought would be applied. In the interest of comity comments on the ovine display here are withheld.
