The majority of Walsh students come from Islamic backgrounds. Christmas trees and menorahs might not be their thing. If sensible thought is welcome here (all signs point to "it's not"), this post won't be deleted.

The man that claims to be in charge is completely overwhelmed with the monster he created.

I'm in awe of the guts this school system has to finally follow the U.S. Constitution! And of course the person at the helm is a man of color! I'm so very proud of these people in this school! They show real progress. Their kids who get a true education at this school will evolve and further progress our country. That gives me hope for the world and should give you hope too. Amazing!!!

Of course this is going back quite a few years, before the "progressives" took over our educational system. Every classroom had Christmas decorations and classrooms with Jewish students, which was every one of them, also had Hanukkah decorations. Hmmmm...I wonder if Principal Brown would ban "footbaths" if some of his Muslim students demanded they be provided for them. I'm betting...nope. Nothing to see here, move along now.

This one is in Waterbury Connecticut, and calls their Christmas celebration the “Winter Celebration.” Walsh Elementary Principal Erik Brown has banned Christmas parties in classrooms and many decorations since arriving at the school five years ago. These, he said, can offend some students, who would be forced to leave while celebrations are ongoing. This struck a sour chord with Board of Education member Paul D’Angelo, who said he’s received complaints from one teacher and one parent. He’s requested School Superintendent David L.
