“One of the concerns that I have,”Masini wrote, “is whether or not this practice is encroaching on the educational opportunities of others and threatening the culture of tolerance and respect for all”
What bull spit. I defy anyone to show me how decorations, dressing up, or having a classroom party with candy or whatever is going to prevent someone from getting an education.
As for “threatening the culture of tolerance”, isn’t it funny that always translates into “we’ll chuck all our traditions and ruin the fun for all the rest of the kids because a one or two (or their parents) don’t like it.” It never seems to mean “these things are part of our culture and traditions, and we enjoy celebrating them. We understand you might not enjoy them yourself, and you are free not to participate.”
Ask the principal if the school will be instructing students in the made up holiday of Kwanzaaaaaa.
The real education would be teaching just who the creator of Kwanza was and exposing how the media does not mention any of his scandals or intentions.
My bet is most of the parents can’t even read the letter. Way too many big words in progspeak.
