No Santa for city school
AMY SIVERSON, The Saratogian December 05, 2001
SARATOGA SPRINGS -- The holidays might have to go on without bells, bows and dreidles this year at Divison Street Elementary School after a third-grade holiday project was deemed inappropriate by Principal Thomas Mele. The class had adorned an oversized Christmas ornament with colored pictures of snowflakes and other winter designs. When Mele visited the class, he removed the decoration from the room.
Mele will meet today with his faculty to review court cases and the Saratoga Springs School district's policy concerning school ceremonies and observances.
The district's policy was implemented on Nov 13 and ''puts into writing the separation of church and state.''
The rest ...

I emailed them and said the children should have the FREEDOM to celebrate traditional holidays and this was intolerant, not tolerant and didn't they see they had it backwards. Lot of good it will probably do but at least they'll know people disagree with them.

I look at it this way: stuff like this puts another nail in the public school coffin. Parents are going to come to a point (many already have) where enough is enough.

Not enough will to make a difference. I laugh out loud shake my head at people who tell me they just can't afford private school for their kids, yet have no problem buying a new car everyother year and making and $400 a month payment on that.
sniff sniff... the smell of priorities way out of whack.

Divisions Street School's stated mission:
Division Street is a school which responds to the whole
child and challenges each to learn while fostering a sense
of pride in our commitment to education. Fostering pride in committment to education?
Any more meaningless drivel would be hard to imagine.

Saint Nicholas/Sinter Claus WAS a Christian.

What a wonderful history lesson! Now, the parents of that class' children can tell them, "This is what it was like to live in Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union."
To: I Love Bush!!!
Remember, diversity and tolerance are only celebrated if it doesn't involve Judeo/Christian/White/Conservative/or decent, normal things that have made this country great.

This is another case of people being self centered and everyone must think just like me. Sick Man! Sick!
