Perhaps the school was fair. Maybe it is the way they conveyed their message seems unfair.
However, now that my emotions have calmed down, maybe this is the one time where the News media has hyped this up too much.
It is just that we are like whipped dogs now. There are so many genuine attacks against Christianity that we are in a defensive posture and sometimes we may over-react to something that may not be an issue after all.
In any case, I feel calmer now...and maybe (just maybe) fully see both sides of the story

With energetic help from the child's parents. I guess they've got their pulse on the mood of the news media, and realized they could get their family in the newspapers this way. But given what the underlying facts are, I'm inclined to put these parents in the same category as the all-too-numerous US parents who fight (sometimes even in court) sensible school dress codes, claiming that their little darling goth or grunge or skank or Crips offspring's First Amendment rights to free expression are being violated by being required to wear a white polo shirt and khaki pants or modest skirt to school.
