The incident occurred Dec. 19 inside a first grade classroom at Helen Hunt-Jackson Elementary School in Temecula, Calif. The previous day the teacher instructed boys and girls to find something at home that represented a family Christmas tradition. They were supposed to bring the item to school and share the item in a classroom presentation.
Brynn Williams decided to bring the Star of Bethlehem that adorned the top of her family’s Christmas tree. She also worked on a one minute presentation to explain that her family’s tradition is to remember the birth of Jesus at Christmas time.

ReplyDeletePeople are so funny. Say the kid was not a christian, but worshiped satan. Wouldn't you demand that the same action be taken? Or would you still feel that child had a right to express their religious beliefs also?

ReplyDeleteThis child was asked to talk about a family christmas tradition. Christmas~ The celebration of Jesus birth. If the school feels that religion and the bible can not be discussed or shared why are they asking these children for a Christmas tradition.
ReplyDeleteIf this was my child I would defend her just as these parents have.
