I’m assuming that a “long-time math teacher” probably has tenure. I suggest that she tell the Principal to get stuffed.

Name the principal.

Publish the phone number and address.

Make his/her/its life hell.

It is way past time we use slimy liberal tactics.

Really.

We don’t want to “offend” the foreign freeloaders to whom every day in America is Christmas.

School says teacher’s Hello Kitty Christmas tree can stay in classroom after all

http://www.fox5dc.com/news/61260350-story

BANGOR, Maine (AP) — A Maine high school has reversed its decision to prevent a math teacher from keeping a pink Hello Kitty Christmas tree in her classroom.

Bangor High School officials had said Catherine Gordon had to remove the tree. The superintendent said the tree needed an educational component.

But WABI-TV (http://bit.ly/1NK6DwM) reports principal Paul Butler said Tuesday that the school is now satisfied the tree highlights the “universal nature of holiday celebration.” He says the tree is appropriate for a school setting.

**************************

FB posts from the teacher and her Congressman are at the link.

They must have gotten enough negative feedback to make the change.

When I read Superintendent Betty’s response as to why the teacher was ordered to remove her xmas tree, all I see is white noise, static and Bureaucratic mottos, signifying nothing in particular.

A manger would be religious, a Christmas tree is NOT religious. I’m sure that school is full of Earth-worshiping symbols anyway.

I guess you can’t be a Global Citizen if you have seen a Hello Kitty Tree. I wonder what other rules there are?

Update from the teacher's Facebook page:

The tree is back up! My students were as happy as I was. When I walked into first period, they all gave a loud round of applause and throughout the day cards and little gifts appeared on my desk and in my mailbox from students and parents alike. I was touched and greatly appreciated the support. The administration was in a difficult position and I applaud Paul Butler for his willingness to revisit the issue after a wonderful conversation yesterday. I'm glad that it has opened a meaningful dialogue in my school community, as well as, around the state and nation. I have to add, I'm honestly glad vacation has begun! Lol 😃

"Our focus is educating students to become global citizens

Well that's your problem right there you fascist superintendent whore! This is supposed to be America, land of the free, not the land of the global citizen. We are supposed to be instilling the values of life liberty and the American way into our children, not liberal mediocrity and disdain for all things even remotely connected to Christianity.

I teach in a rural district in Texas. We had a huge Christmas Tree in the front lobby. Every class had one as well.

“Our focus is educating students to become global citizens with the necessary 21st century skills for college and career readiness for their future success.”

WTF is a “Global Citizen”?

Some publik educated moron who spits out everything they are told to say and think? Somebody who rejects individuality, nationalism, the idea of Nation States, and obviously somebody who rejects Christianity?

This is why we HOME SCHOOL!

Global this, global that. Do these numbskulls think Christmas is only celebrated in the US? It’s a WORLDwide celebration, ya jackwagons. I watch Japanese public TV (NHK World) and Tokyo is nuts for Christmas as well as other holidays.

My niece works for a public university and received the memo about not celebrating Christmas. She was so disgusted, she almost brought in a Festivus pole for irony except no one knew what Festivus was. Gad, liberals suck the fun out of everything.

It was rescinded when it hit publicity. Leftists cannot bear the truth being told in public.
