I agree, and it’s actually in the constitution, in fact the FIRST amendment. Religion should be kept away from public schools.

The tree is a sign of the solstice, a new year, evergreen and hope.
It originated in Germany and has NOTHING to do with Christmas, religion or any gods.

Trouble with these ‘officials’ is, there are all bloody ignorant!

Atheists know these things and the muslims (yes no doubt it was they who were ‘offended’ – aren’t they always?) are deliberatly ignorant of other cultures.

[The district's policy on religion says, "The district is required by law to keep the practice of religion out of the school curriculum. Preferential or derogatory treatment of any religion shall not take place." ]

* The “winter tree” has gone, but I suspect one group will get preferential treatment, if it isn’t getting it already.

* A Christmas tree in Ames High School’s cafeteria was taken down

The Christmas tree went because it was “offensive”, but how long will this remain in the student planner because it breaches guess who’s “rights”?

Christmas trees should not be in a public school and religious holidays should not be celebrated in public schools. This includes, Christmas, Easter, Quanza, Yom Kippur, or Halloween etc. I’m sick of these public schools using up precious class time for this garbage. Religious holidays need to be celebrated at home with family and friends. I for one do not want my kids exposed to Quanza or any other religious holiday that does not fit in with my faith.

Islam and Muslims are offensive to millions of peace-loving humans and it is about time that the Muslims were deported to their sharia compliant hell-holes.

A Christmas tree can offend a couple of people & be removed
A GZM can offend millions and go ahead
