Via Fox News:

Boys and girls at a Massachusetts elementary school have been banned from bringing Valentine’s Day candy or cards over cultural equality issues and federal guidelines regulating candy.

Parents of students at Salemwood Elementary School in Malden, Mass, received a letter informing them of the policy – that impacts not just Valentine’s Day – but all holidays.

“We have many different nationalities, cultures and languages spoken,” Principal Carol Keenan told Fox News. “Because of that we don’t honor specific holidays.”

Keenan said she did not want some students feeling left out.

“This is done with all good intentions – to have all students be accepted, to have all students feel like they belong,” she said.

Oh yeah, they'll all feel like the belong. They'll feel like they "belong" to a colorless, soulless, steaming pile of crap.

So in addition to 'MERRY CHRISTMAS'

'HAPPY VALENTINE"S DAY'

is not an act of rebellion.

Edit: not = now

Keenan said they were not cancelling Valentine’s Day. Instead, the elementary school is going to celebrate a modified version.
“Every student is making a friendship card for another student,” she said. “I wanted to make sure that every single student is given the opportunity to get a card and to also give a card. I didn’t want some students feeling left out.”

What is wrong with these people! In a decent, caring, nurturing system that's been the case for generations. When did it break??

More political correctness, little johnny must send a card to a gay, make believe, just as if he were a real friend, just like it was a little girl.

We need to start educating out own kids. How much of this politically correct junk are parents going to take?
