Thank goodness reasonable people seem to have come to a compromise over the decorations/holiday celebrations at some Illinois schools.
Following a school board meeting where parent complained about what the saw as an assault on traditional American celebrations, an Oak Lawn school district has decided to keep observing Halloween and Christmas, but only on the condition that Muslim holiday Ramadan is celebrated as well.
Look at that, they managed to figure out that if you give everybody what they want, nobody has to lose out. It’s touching isn’t it? Unfortunately, now there’s this.
There won’t be little ghosts and goblins at Kohl Elementary School this Halloween.
In a newsletter sent home to parents, Principal Cindy Kaier wrote that the traditional Halloween party celebrated in classrooms each year will be replaced by a fall party on Friday.
The decision came after a discussion that culminated in an “emotional” meeting with teachers that focused on school holiday parties and how Kohl could continue to celebrate without leaving out anyone.
One thing in life is certain. Where one idiot falls, another stands ready to take their place.Â
