christmas at rhyddings or not
is rhyddings the only school that doesnt really celebrate christmas for the kids, ie no xmas, no tree in the main hall but when its eid they have banners and slideshows in the hall, this doesnt seem fair as we arent muslims and dont celebrate eid, and christmas is a time when christ was born and being catholic is my religion.

Because, "Muslims may be offended by the Christmas celebrations". And if we don't allow Muslims to celebrate Eid, we're being Racist obviously.. =)

my g/daughter is working at broadfield s/school & they have some christmas tree's there, & yes muslims do attend that school, the children have double celebrations as they celebrate eid too.

Re: christmas at rhyddings or not
it offends me that my children cant celebrate at school but the asians can, i dont make a fuss when they celebrate eid, so why is a fuss made when we want to celebrate, its this that is going to cause intolerance and racism in my opinion, why doesnt it matter if we are offended.

Re: christmas at rhyddings or not
the schools i have worked in have celebrates both, it is a good time to teach the children about different religions, cultures and beliefs.....

Re: christmas at rhyddings or not

Telephone the school and ask them directly what their policy is about religious celebrations.

its not forced.. parents can opt their children out of anything they dont agree with, children are taught about many different religions, we celebrated passover, despite the fact there are no jewish children in the school....
