Christmas decorations, songs, even Christmas hoodies are not allowed in the school district, but Pride month or Muslim holidays are not a problem.
In the United States, a school district in Pennsylvania sent a reminder to all employees and told them not to celebrate Christmas with the children, despite the fact that they were still openly celebrating Pride month just six months ago, according to an article in the Modernity news portal. v4na.com .
The reminder instructs school bus drivers in Wallingford, Pennsylvania not to decorate their vehicles with "anything specific to the Christmas holiday" and to immediately remove "any other decorations associated with a particular religion." It also states that employees "should not wear Christmas-related clothing" or play Christmas music.
According to the school district's memo, some parents complained about the school's Christmas decorations and casuals wearing Christmas sweaters.
At the same time, Modernity draws attention to the fact that
Although Christmas was banned, Pride Month was to be celebrated in abundance in the school district.
The same school district's Pride Month post in June highlighted that it is "committed to providing a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment for all students and staff."
On the occasion of Pride month, they also welcomed the LGBTQ community on their social media page.
