No more Santa at N.Y. school?


Santa, Thanksgiving  and the Pledge of Allegiance are no longer being widely used at one school in Brooklyn, N.Y., according to the New York Post.

New principal Eujin Jaela Kim has replaced the commonly used terms with a more politically correct set, including "harvest festival" and "winter celebrations."

The principal was not available to speak with Paste BN Network.

In a memo sent in November, assistant principal Jose Chaparro instructed staff to "be sensitive of the diversity of our families. Not all children celebrate the same holidays," the Post reports.

“We definitely can’t say Christmas, nothing with Christmas on it, nothing with Santa,” PTA President Mimi Ferrer said administrators told her, according to the Post.
