CBS NEWS December 18, 2015 School Cancels Santa Field Trip After Mom Objects

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Parents of San Jose school kids confronted a school board Thursday night after a decision to cancel a field trip to see Santa Claus followed a complaint by a Jewish mother who objected to the school-sponsored outing, CBS San Francisco station KPIX-TV reports.

The visit to Santa, along with a "Dear Santa" assignment, was a decade-long tradition at Sartorette Elementary School, part of San Jose's Cambrian School District.

Last week, the Sartorette staff informed parents the school would suspend the outing to see Santa at a local coffee shop after a Jewish mother, who identified herself only as Talia, complained to the school board that the district was celebrating one religion over others.

"We need to teach about all the holidays," Talia told KPIX-TV. "We live in a global society."

Talia said that as a result of her complaint and the decision by the school board other parents began to bully her.

"I had some parents that called me a communist, that said that I didn't want any holidays in the school," she said.

Some parents are blaming Talia for ruining Christmas.

Precisely my point.
= = = = = = = = =

Don’t get me wrong - I am on YOUR side on this issue.

Don’t cancel for all - which I why I ‘suggested’ alternate activity for those that don’t want to go.

Just to keep the ‘cycle flowing’ a bunch of parents should protest that this is the only time and way they can afford to let their kid see ‘Santa Claus’.

That gets a whole new ‘class’ of whiners involved.

KEEP STIRRING THE POT.

I have been receiving stuff from ‘Military Connection’ and this year they ‘sent’ a Holiday greeting and in about 30 sentences the word CHRISTMAS wasn’t mentioned once.

So, I didn’t demand they recognize CHRISTMAS, I told them to drop me from their mailing list and was/am sure that most of the recipients of the newsletter basically feel the same way..

And I am even one that admitted that sometimes be careful what you may ‘wish for’...

Years ago ‘we’ complained that Christmas was being too commercialized, protested the use of Xmas- and exploited etc....
SO...’they’ dropped CHRISTMAS from the CHRISTMAS holiday experience, giving ‘US’ something else to gripe about...

Just saying...

I often have to remind myself not to treat the actions of individuals as a group. It is true that there is a disproportionate number of Jews who are very anti-Christian and in life only for themselves and their peers. However it was a (gay) Jew who led me to conservatism and first alerted me to the fact that there is something very wrong here in the US. Dr Allen Bloom

Idiots, the mother and the school for canceling. She does not strike me as religious, but if she is and is concerned about confusion, don't let your kids go on the field trip.

Christmas trees are a German custom that later became associated with Christianity.

No, I do not initiate any “baiting”. However when attacked, I give back much more than I receive.....somewhat like Donald Trump.

A good Jewish friend and his wife volunteer at hospitals on Christmas Day so Christians can be home with their families. That’s the holiday spirit!
