[QUOTE="tinamarie1, post: 88837, member: 255"] This is what I don't understand...my kids are not allowed to celebrate halloween in any shape or form at their schools here, because in the words of my son's 4th grade teacher "certain religions find it offensive". She said she can't even pass out a coloring sheet with a pumpkin on it. And thats acceptable to people? But when a parent objects to a book in the library, that is not ok? My parents always told me that if my teachers assigned a book and I found it to be offensive, then I should ask for an alternative assignment. And I did that on several occasions where there was strong profanity or lude acts included in their choice of novels. I personally teach my kids the same thing, that they can't force things on you that make you feel uncomfortable, and to use common sense as to not be so quick to say, "wahh? a pumpkin offends me" shesh Maybe I am comparing apples to oranges here, but this is all so new to me. We just moved from the deeeep south in louisiana to Virginia which seems alot more liberal and easily offended. [/QUOTE]
