If PISD was smart, they would change their policy to NO classroom celebrations and be done with it.

Well then, lets not stop there. Cancel the winter (Christmas) break alltogether! Spring break too.

I'm afraid , though, with all this ruckus going on about freedom of expression at Christmas in the schools, that there will be a multitude of unintended consequences. How long will it be before we will have solstice parties and Ramadan feasting?

So we teach the children that freedom of expression is granted by the state and not God.

I'm paying property taxes to PISD to educate my children well. period.

Perhaps you might just want to examine what this totalitarian ban is teaching you children, hmmmmmmm? So we say we can't have freedom of expression at Christmas???? Thats stupid.

I think the breaks are state mandated. The distribution policies are district mandated. Fine with me to cancel the breaks, btw. If they went to schol all year`round, it wouldn't hurt them. In fact, I think PISD actually experimented with an alternative calendar.

Welp, public schools are supposed to be about EDUCATION.
Education requires a standardized, disteric wide curriculum as well as discipline. If people want to express religious sentiments like solstice or Ramadan or anything else, they should establish their own schools and make their own policies. Or`wait till they go to college. Or become artists.

It teaches them that school is for education and religion is for churches.
