UPDATE: Im pleased to announce that my posts about this situation on our local community’s social media page, caught the attention of the whole town and caused an uproar. Within hours there was a petition with hundreds of signatures and plans to mobilize against this politically to overturn the decision. Less than 24 hours later the school superintendent released a follow-up announcement stating that he will be bending the knee and un-doing his decision and will be reinstating the Christmas celebrations and will not touch Easter or Halloween. (So he says). I’m proud of my community for answering the call and showing what a little civic unity can accomplish. We still need to stay involved and not lose the momentum, but we certainly made an impression. They’ll think twice before trying something like this again.
