Ashland, OR (AHN) - An Ashland elementary school principal had to play Grinch by removing a Christmas tree from her school lobby. Before the Thanksgiving break, Bellview Elementary had a giving tree standing tall in its lobby. When the students returned, the tree had disappeared. Principal Michelle Zundel said a family requested the tree be taken down because it is a religious symbol and it made their children uncomfortable being around it.

Me thinks the Principal is a liar. Funny she does not tell us WHO the family was that made this request. I think she is a closet Republican and just wants to stir trouble up.
Drag in a boulder and plop it down in the hall and scotchtape the names to it and call it "Oscar". Now tell me..who could possibly have an issue with a rock with names on it ?
In this day and age some nitwit will pee their pants in anguish over it.
And there will be a willing lawyer to chase after the cash over their pain and suffering.
The real crime is the fact that they had a tree up even before thanksgiving break.
And contrary to the title of the thread, she wasn't FORCED. It was 100% her choice and she admits she didn't have to do it. This is pretty much all on her.

What hAs America BECOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too many races, too many religions, and too many radical loons are changing
the America way!
It's been that way since the Constitution has been written!
It is all very sad...i thought all Americans loved Christmas!
The way i see it is if you don't like what you see, then get the f$%*
out and let the rest enjoy celebration!
I am not religious but see this as an extreme effort even misguided, to allow no one to celebrate in the manner of their choice.
No one's stopping anyone from celebrating however he or she pleases. The school is not an individual. If it's a public school, there really shouldn't be an endorsement of any religious holidays.
