What the hell is this world becoming? My daughter was telling me that they do not allow Valentine's Day celebrations at her school anymore. Parents were complaining that it was a religious holiday. Religious?
Come on. Now we are going a little too far, aren't we? I know about the history that Valentine's Day was actually a Pagan holiday that the Catholic church converted into a Christian day of celebration. Blah, blah, blah...
Seriously, we all know the real truth. Hallmark is making a killing on that one day alone. The flower deliveries, the candy companies... This is not even close to a RELIGIOUS holiday.
So some of her teachers found a work around. They did NOT have any Valentine's Day parties on Thursday. No, no, no... that would be breaking the rules. They had an "Encouraging Notes Day" celebration at the school on Thursday.
So they threw their parties in some classes and passed around "encouraging notes" that happen to be red, pink, and white while also passing out "chemical compounds wrapped in plastic".
Did I mention that the school also has a "No Candy" policy?

At my son's school, Valetine's day is now called "friendship day" and Halloween is now "character dress up day".
It is all bullshit!
