That's interesting. We had a "God bless America" bulletin board up in the hallway at the beginning of the year, and a CHristmas tree in the front hall at Christmas, for the first time. There is a lot of diversity in our school, in terms of both students and teachers, but no one complained as far as I know.

You know summer, Displays of faith are as much a part of America as diversity and tall buildings. We need to get a little harder shell and not worry about a few people complaining. Our family is Jewish, but we are in favor of all faiths having their day. Don't much like proselitizing in public places and definitely don't want any offshoot of a faith that practices terrorism and dominance, but schools do their kids a favor by exposing them to the tolerance that exists in this country. Of course tolerance is not an experience in much of the world. America's uniqueness should also be taught.
And for sure post the picture of GWB, he is on a good path for American education. (Hi from south Texas.)

Wow! At my kids' school, they're not allowed to have any parties for any holidays. No displays of any kind either. No prayers. No nothing. No political clothes. Nothing!
What happened to freedom of speech and freedom of religion?
