Parents of Oak Lawn are here. There is a school board meeting Tues 10/2/2007 we will be there in force to speak out. There is a plan in motion for a boycott (in peaceful protest) on Halloween. The children have a half day of school and we will pass out a flyer Tuesday suggesting if you want to let them know how we feel keep the kids out of school dress them in costume and march outside the school that morning. This also allows our children “ALL CHILDREN” fight for their rights. All those in favor and in the area see you at the school board meeting and on Halloween there will also be a push to save the Santa shop and other fund raisers at Christmas (or the “HOLIDAYS”) for the PTA that benefit ALL the children. All those in favor stand and fight or take a backseat and complain that you have not rights. Its a small issue now but we need to stop the progression of STAMPING OUT THE AMERICAN CULTURE!!! ITS GOT TO STOP.
I’m glad to see that you are concerned and have a plan. I wish you much luck with your efforts.
Perhaps these families who have complained, (primarily Muslim, I believe) would be better served by placing their children in a private school, or home school.
Personally, I would make every person’s life connected to these decisions at Oak Lawn, hell, with phone calls, faxes, etc. I would also contact the media and have every parent utilize their personal connections (media, legal, etc). If you don’t think that this is a war, guess again.
Every religious/ethnic group which has come to the US in the past has been expected and has willingly learned how to assimilate to American culture. That assimilation has been a big part of why this melting pot has been able to function.

See my post #68 about Oak Lawn, and consider helping me regarding School District 126 recommending inappropriate material for children. Yes, the District apologized for not informing parents of the contents of the material, but they will no stop recommending it anyway. Even despite District 126’s own policy for students. I am working with other Oak Lawn parents to seek the removal from office of current School District 126 members who believe it is not their responsibility to recommend appropriate material for children.
