But wasn't the orginal complaint that the school district prohibited colored plates, napkins, and cake icing in red or green at the "winter holiday part" -- not that they banned colored clothes?

I apologize that I missed your posting over the Christmas break and am so late in replying.

Yes, you are correct, and below I am including segments of 2 e-mail exchanges I had with a room mother at one of the PISD elementary schools. This first one is from me to the room mother.

At 8:30 PM Eastern time O'Reilly on the Fox News Channel had about a 5 min segment on PISD and the Christmas celebration policies. That show is repeated here at 11 PM, so at 10:30 PM it should be on in Dallas.

Gregg Knight from KLIF radio (same station Darrel Ankarlo is on) was the guest and he explained that each school in the district chose their own policy. He singled out Thomas Elementary as the biggest offender.

Try to catch the show if you are around.

And her reply the next morning:

We watched this last night and I am glad the radio host told it like it is. I should have called or emailed O’Reilly yesterday and maybe I could have been a call-in on the show but at least the radio host told him about the “winter party” where we cannot have anything related to Christmas. I am off to the “winter party” this morning—last day of school today…. Bye!
