Cheery Holidays
A New York state public school has been forced to implement a new policy about holiday decorations because a parent complained about a Christmas display at an elementary school, reports WROC-TV.
The Pittsford, N.Y., Board of Education voted to allow holiday displays only as long as they are used as a teaching aid, or as part of a building-wide plan exposing students to multiple cultures.
But students will not be allowed to have classroom parties in celebration of religious holidays, nor will they be able to have concerts dominated by religious music, especially in celebration of a religious holiday.
