Another absolutely disgusting example of pre-emptive dhimmitude, in the name of tolerance and multiculturalism, right here in the US: First Jell-O, now Santa.
So long, Halloween parade. Farewell, Santa’s gift shop.
The holiday traditions are facing elimination in some Oak Lawn schools this year after complaints that the activities are offensive, particularly to Muslim students.
Final decisions on which of the festivities will be axed will fall to the principals at each of Ridgeland School District 122’s five schools, Supt. Tom Smyth said.
Parents expect that the announcement is going to add to the tension that has been building since officials agreed earlier this month to change the lunch menu to exclude items containing pork to accommodate Muslim students. News that Jell-O was struck from the menu caused such a stir that officials have agreed to bring it back.
Gelatin is often made with tissue or bones of pigs or other animals.

He only apologized for the fuss it caused. He did not apologize for offending them.
No, I hadn’t heard of this latest middle finger to America. WHAT is wrong with these school board idiots?
BTW, I can identify with your tagline!
~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s a middle finger aw’rite,,,
I just wonder if the folks in that area know about this
KRAP ?!?!?! I don’t think so,,,
Blame the MSM,,,AGAIN...:0( GRRRRRRRRR...
:)True.
As for me, I will have both my Halloween and Christmas decorations in place.
I don't know of any Mussies around this area but if one should happen by my house, I hope it offends the He@@ out of them.
This is crazy, does anyone in their right mind think that if we went to Iran or Iraq and wanted to practice the Christian or Jewish Faith that we would be able to tell them that they are offending us when they have a call to prayer. We let them have the Holy Day of Ramadan (sorry if I spelled it wrong) and I dont hear anyone complaining. CHRISTMAS AND HALLOWEEN WE HAVE CELEBRATED FOR DECADES this is nonsense.
If they dont like the holiday and if the schools are starting to end the celebration than I say everyone work that day and dont get it off for a holiday. Frankly I am getting sick of all this double standard stuff.
I am not offended by Muslims celebrating Ramadan. Why would it offend them if we celebrate Christmas? Big load of PC CRAP. This is AMERICA. If the muslims don’t want to be exposed to Christianity, they can LEAVE.
I am beginning to think of who is the anti-christ and I dont think it is a person.
I dont think the government is so intimidated by them I THINK THEY ARE AFRAID OF THEM
islam is the biggest joke on the planet.
“THE POPE APOLOGIZES FOR OFFENDING MUSLIMS BY CRITICISING THEIR RELIGION (BECAUSE OF DEATH THREATS)”
Stop saying this. He did no such thing and I’m getting sick of hearing it.
You have a great day.

“These (words) were in fact a quotation from a Medieval text which do not in any way express my personal thought,”
I think you know what i mean.
But do you understand what he meant? His personal thoughts on Islam would be considered even more negative than the text he quoted.
The ISLAMICS dictate the cirriculum of art classes in a charter school
in the Twin Cities (NO ART PORTRAYING HUMANS)...
(even though an Afghani saved a fair chunk of the Afghani National art
collection from The Taliban by covering human images in the collection with
water-colors)...
only natural they spread like a CANCER to Illinois.
Of course we are.
Your government has stood by and allowed, even aided and abetted this country to be illegally flooded by tens of millions from corrupt third world countries, fanatical Muslim countries etc...Press one for English, Spanish signs everywhere, Pandering to the Muslims, illegal aliens, lawlessness everywhere, while the criminal make demands, as our local representatives support and pander to the criminals.
As our Federal government is working as hard as it can to dismantle our borders, our sovereignty and America itself.
bump
Is that where something really bad happened to all the over-the-road truckers?
I hope you have a wonderful day too....~Pandora~
