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.

They must have gotten enough negative feedback to make the change.
It should never have gotten to this point that coast to coast shaming was needed in order to do the right thing.
Fine. They will exact their ‘revenge’ on this teacher in the next performance evaluation. Their words will be as sharpened as Ginsu Knives.
I live in Maine.
There was an uproar over this situation, and the moonbats had to back down.
