Should Santa Be Allowed To Come To School?

The federal law talks about how the holidays should not only be about one type of religion. That teachers should experiment and practice with other religions. Show the meaning of the other religions and what they are all about. If BISD adopted this stance that Fort Worth ISD did these are some of the ways it may affect us or what may happen if we did take on that rule.

The Change In My Field Site
  • Santa Clause not allowed in the classroom.
  • Children can no longer write letters to Santa.
  • Santa is only allowed in the lobby, auditorium, or lunch. 
  Activities/Events Cut Out
  • Children can no longer write letters to Santa.
Elementary schools will still be able to participate in the PTA parties held before and after school.My solution to The "December Dilemma" I would find activities, come up with lesson plans that revolve around different religions and what they do for the holidays and not just Christians. I would practice with other religions and show the kids what they are like.
