School district cancels Christmas, but celebrates Pride Month
The school district will not allow Christmas decorations, carols or even Christmas sweaters, but apparently, Pride Month or Muslim holidays are not a problem.
A school district in Pennsylvania sent out a memo to all employees ordering them not to celebrate Christmas with children, despite the fact that just six months ago they were openly celebrating Pride Month, according to the Modernity news portal.
The memo instructs school bus drivers in Wallingford, PA, not to decorate their vehicles with “anything specific to the Christmas holidays,” and to immediately remove “any other decorations relating to a specific religion.” It also states that employees should not “wear clothing related to Christmas,” or play Christmas music.
The memo claims that the school has received complaints from some parents about staff displaying Christmas decorations and wearing Christmas jumpers.
However, Modernity highlights that whereas
Christmas is banned for the kids in the school district, the Pride Month went ahead unperturbed.
A Pride month post from the same school district back in June noted that it is “committed to providing a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment for all students and employees.”
