I agree with you Sanantone I just wish we could appreciate everyone's way of celebrating what they believe. The school where my children went was 99% white and 99.5% Christian. I think it would have been good for that 0.5% to share more about their way. Recently the school has started teaching a little about Chanukah and a little about Kwanzaa this is great at least a little diversity. When children have a better knowledge and understanding they are more accepting of others. Once a child becomes an adult they will be able to make a decision based on all the facts not just parents have told them is true. I have 3 children(now all adults) they all went through the Catholic church until they made their confirmation, after that I allowed them to make their own choices among what I had taught them. All three have different beliefs, I like the fact that can think for themselves.
