Religious Holidays in Public Schools

*Spirituality* is subjective and personal and is best left to parents if they choose to impart a set of beliefs to their children--not the public school system.

Children should not have to be *taught* any set of imaginary beliefs that have been concocted throughout the ages by a teacher in the public school system.

Among the MANY other problems, I can just imagine the child who is brought up in a house raised to believe that no god exists and how sitting through these classes would make them feel.

You want to raise accepting children who are aware of the diverse nature of people's beliefs or non-beliefs? Raise them that way.
