Liberal School Hypocritically Bans Kids from Enjoying Christmas
In this day and age, you no doubt have heard great and terrible things about our environment and the need to decrease the carbon footprint of humanity. Environmentalists everywhere are rising up and preaching about the harms of fossil-fuels and even cows, while politicians are quick to believe their every word in an attempt to justify their greed for more power and money.
But it can be hard for the average person to believe such extravagancies when we find that so many of those environmentalists and their supporters make some of the least environmentally-friendly decisions of all.
Take teen sensation and global warming enthusiast Greta Thunberg, for instance.
For the last couple of years, she has been a constant voice against the uses of fossil fuels and any sort of technology that relies on them; as such, she and her team have made conscious efforts to make nearly all of her travel plans as pollution-free as possible. She rides bikes or walks instead of being driven in a car and she has even employed a carbon-neutral boat for farther trips instead of flying.
But to get such travel plans to work, someone has to make a sacrifice.
Let’s take a look at her most recent trip to the US for a United Nations conference in New York. True to her form, she took her zero-carbon-emitting boat across the Atlantic. However, because the trip was somewhat last minute, the entire boat crew had to be flown over to get the ship back.
So for her travel without a carbon footprint, a whole team of personnel had to do just the opposite. If she and a few of her team had flown over in the first place it would have released far less CO2, besides being less expensive.
And it seems, her followers are acting in kind.
Jonathan Mason is the headteacher (principal) of a primary (elementary) school in Grantham, Lincolnshire, in the United Kingdom. And, apparently, he and some of the parents of his students have similar ideas on how to save the environment.
According to Sky News, some of the parents and, therefore, the children at Belton Lane Primary School were concerned about the environmental impact of sending Christmas cards and had expressed their fears to Mason.
As a man in tune with his student’s wishes, he decided to cancel the sending of such Christmas cards. And naturally, he would need to inform the parents of his students and do so rather quickly as the much-awaited holiday is fast approaching.
So what did he do; he sent a letter to all 275 kids and their parents — a letter, as in old-fashioned pen on paper, paper in an envelope, sent in the mail.
He wrote, “I have approached by a number of children recently who are concerned about the impact of sending Christmas cards on the environment.” He continued, “Throughout the world, we send enough Christmas cards that if we place them alongside each other, they would cover the world’s circumference 500 times. The manufacture of Christmas cards is contributing to our ever-growing carbon emissions.”
“So in order to be environmentally friendly in school, we will not be having a post box for Christmas cards from this year onwards.”
“Instead, can we encourage you to save money and the environment by not sending cards to all of the children in a class individually but instead, if you want to send a card please send one card to the whole class. Teachers can then display the cards in the classroom for everyone to see.”
As you can well imagine, not every parent was impressed by the headteacher’s plan, mainly due to its hypocrisy.
One parent told the U.K. Daily Mail, “I know quite a few parents who are upset about this.” And they continued, “Why should children have the joy taken out of Christmas? Why can’t all these cards be recycled anyway?”
The parent added, “I know we have to protect the environment, but these are a few Christmas cards once a year, and to be told about this on a piece of paper seems contradictory.”
Contradictory, indeed. Or, as another parent put it, “rank hypocrisy.”
You can’t tell me that Mason couldn’t have sent an email, posted on the school’s social media page, or even sent a text message.
As one parent said, “I hope parents boycott these Grinch-like plans and keep this tradition alive by sending lots of cards to their little pals.
SO……………..WHY does this Moron still have a job?? WHY haven’t parents DEMANDED he be replaced with someone who is actually sane ???
it IS THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE IN THE UK….BETTER NOT HAPPEN IN THE US!!!!
It is the foolish Americans who are at fault for having NO true resistance to liberalism!
Listen Gary, Patriots like me outnumber the liberals over a 100 to 1 and we are FINALLY getting a handle on them I’m hoping and praying. We are about to have a WAR against the democrat rat finks and the sooner the better because me and all the other Patriots are sick to death of them and we don’t need any ignorant foul mouth Foreigner like you judging us because we hate them!! They own the frickin Media and News “THAT’S WHY THEY GOT SO DAMN POWERFUL” SO DON’T JUDGE THE U.S. BECAUSE OF THE DUMB ASS LIBERAL DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES CAUSING ALL THE TROUBLE NOT US THE GOOD GOD LOVING PATRIOTS! WE HOPE TO PUT THEM OUT OF POWER REAL SOON AND HAVE A REPUBLIC LIKE THIS COUNTRY WAS CREATED IN THE FIRST PLACE TO BE!!!!
Really! Watch the next elections. Americans are giving, loving, hard working, trusting folks. Unfortunately not everyone especially folks with power aren’t always the same. We’re learning. And, I do believe that you all are more liberal than Americans. We were not foolish enough to become a part of the One World Government called the European Union. I hope everything works out for your country.
Reminds me of the incident where some Mexican students celebrating Cinco de mayo took down the American flag at a school and put up the Mexican flag. When American students put the American flag back up the principle sent them home. Also sent home were students wearing t shirts with the American flag printed on them. Why is it that so many useless idiots with advanced degrees seem to gravitate into education? Is it because their useless college majors rendered them unfit for any other line of work? The parents have powers that they should exercise. Pull their children from school until the idiot is fired. The school loses government subsidies for each day a student is absent. It wouldn’t be long before the school board saw it their way and fired or moved the incompetent moron.
I agree hope he,she slips om the ice
This is another sample of a school that maybe have 1100 students. But only 35 parents show up at a meeting to voice their opinions on issues by a principle or the school superintendent.
Why stop with Christmas cards? Why not outlaw the shipment of Christmas presents too? Who knows what these UK idiots will do next?
You know these teacher and dumb liberal don’t know anything about science! But want to DESTORY other people mind. It a shame people think in such a stupid way. Back in the 70’s when I was growing up. Drink bottle was a money making for kids and poor people. Taking bottle back to drink company for a nickel. Then along could some dumb nut! Claiming it harm the air! So CAN DRINK come out, not long afterwards do we hear the same crap! We had RECYCLING back then . Even paper bag was recycling! Use for lot of thing! IT TODAY GENERATION WHO ARE HARMING THE AIR WE BREATHE. Even big house are harming the air! Computer and cellphone are helping it! So these young people better start learning more about climate change! Because NO MAN CONTROL CLIMATE CHANGE! ONLY GOD CAN!
People like them are uncontrolled idiots in society. They should be condemned.
I agree with a lot you. It was a mean stunt this principal pulled on the kids. He’s like a big school bully. Kids, keep doing what you’re doing. Keep the CHRISTmas tradition alive. Most important of all, remember the real reason for CHRISTmas is the birth of Jesus Christ. He came into the world to live among us, become like us in all things but sin, die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins so we can go to heaven to be with the Holy Trinity(God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit).
FIRST, which is NOT anylonger taught in US schools, that CHRIST/GOD is supreme…If not gotten at home AND CHURCH, children will have NO concept of REASONS for good and bad behavior…nor the CONSEQUENCES OF EACH…WAKE UP PARENTS
If you don’t stand for something you fall for anything. The liberals believe they have all the power but as we all know there is nothing and no one greater than Jesus.
One World Government. That is the plan of the Democratic Party. The European Union is a part of the One World Government. Good folks should resist or we all are in trouble.
A congressman called Mark agrees with the Green New Deal in America. He is concerned about Global warming ( the hoax) and said America should not proceed with fossil fuels. Yet Mark had Obama send $4 billion dollars to the Ukraine to help them produce more gas.
America stands in the way of the One World Government. The Dems are paid by Soros who wrote the book International Government which is a One World Government, to hurt America and make us a third world country.
I think it is a shame that Christmas is being ruled out. There are so many things being ruled out, Mostly all the good things being ruled out. We need to keep a lot of our old and treasured traditions in this country. Changes to these things are only coming from bad people. The bad people love UGLY and offensive things. Changing to an ugly, offensive way of life is HORRENDOUS. Satan must have a hand in this, making HELL on earth to a beautiful and Blessed America.
Bet kwanzaa is not ruled out. I bet this holiday from Africa can be celebrated. I bet kids are excused 4 times 30 mins each to pray without payback. I bet the whole school has to follow Muslim diet. This principle is crazy unfair and hates christians.
Barbara, I agree with you about the ugliness of these hypocrites and their views. However, reread the article, it took place in England, not America.
While this particular dumb-assed school is not in the United States, you can bet there will be similar things happening over here. Every year some Grinch will be madly throwing cold water on Christmas parties, Christmas decorations, card exchanging – it never fails! The Left Wingers will have on their sourest faces, looking for anything they can do to make Bah Humbug!! spoil what ought to be the happiest time of year.
As an Englishman, I deplore this as much as you do.
Doesn’t matter were it took place! Christmas is the reason why we need to put GOD BACK IN THE WORLD! ATHEIST DON’T BELIEVE! So my question to any ATHEIST is WHY ARE YOU STILL LIVING? OR BREATHING? TALKING?OR COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TRUE?
We have lots of idiots who have to much power,send them to hell
Ricarda and others…NOT a very “christian” attitude toward your fellow man,..aren’t we called to be kind and convert for God to His relm by truth, holyness, kindness, and love for HIS CREATIONS?!
And just think how dangerous he would be if he had a BRAIN.
How true the saying, Stupid is as Stupid does.
the hate filled idiot needs to go!!
We the American People must stand together and fight for our Childrens Rights to enjoy CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY.
THESE SAME LIBERAL SCHOOLS/TEACHERS, WOULD NEVER STOP “MUSLIN” FROM CELEBRATING THEIR HOLIDAYS OR THEIR TIME OUT FOR THEIR PRAYS.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOLD BLESS HISTORIC PRESIDENT TRUMP AND A BLESSED MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
CG, I agree with you about the ugliness of these hypocrites and their views. However, reread the article, it took place in England, not America.
GARY, READ their CONCERN that it WILL happen – and BTW – this is the United States…”AMERICA ” consists of THREE CONTINENTS, North, Central and South…I sure don’t want to be a part of Mexico, Canada, Venezulea, Paraguay, Columbia, Guatamala, etc…(all of which ARE a part of “America”)
It starts with Christianity because they are the most powerful and then the others will eventually be phased out.
It’s the ploy of the One World Government followers to remove anything and everything not celebrating them and their selfish agenda. The One World Government first has us fighting against and mad at each other so that we will ignore their power grab. That’s how they got so far along. But if we’d do what Jesus told us to do, to love your neighbor as you would yourself, there will be more peace in the world .
I think maybe Some folks can’t be bothered and always complain because they don’t love themselves. If we can’t love ourselves we can’t love others truly. I believe that the world is full of loving, charitable, caring, intelligent people who would risk their lives to save yours nd give you the shirt off their backs, no matter the race or religion. Look in the mirror every morning and say something good about yourself after all God made YOU and He doesn’t make mistakes.
Let’s think on that and consider doing something nice for someone today. The act will make you feel good about yourself. And then that person you help may help others. God bless everyone. He can if we just believe. I don’t care who is doing what, continue to keep the world in prayer, we all share this earth and we’re all family so to speak. Jesus hears your prayers and He cares and there is nothing and no one greater than Jesus.
So true! These liberal fool are COWARD to MUSLIM! But rather attack the people who help keep them alive! Just as ATHEIST attack CHRISTIAN BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS NOT THERE IDEA OF HEAVEN! Sorry to say it TRUE that only those who understands what is being said in the BIBLE will change and FOLLOW it! If these liberal and atheist read just one book in the Bible. It shall be REVELATION! JOHN write just before you start reading chapter one. LIBERAL WILL NOT BELIEVE GOD WORDS! EVEN ATHEIST DON’T BELIEVE GOD WORDS! THEIR IDEA OF HEAVEN IS WHAT MAN CLAIM IT IS! BUT NOT WHAT GOD SAY IT IS!
This person is probably a lesbo thus protected. Teachers unions want no holidays except pop t May 1 celebrating communism. That is their god. They believe you are to stupid to raise your children. The demorats will put kids in re education rye in camps starting at age 3. If they are slow oil w or whatever they will be placed in labor camps w iui without parents. Parents of these kids will be sterilized. Folks this is co m.j ing with full approval of the demorat party.
ANOTHER BERKLEY CALIFORNIA GRADUATE.
This educator (??!) is insane! However, the bigger problem is there are millions more
like him.
all the parents should get together, have bags of cards for the entire school….including the office staff!!! are they brave enough to do it?
It seems that any organization that is good and helps support peoples needs that is not the Government is condemned. Any activity that is faith based is to be eliminated. The activists want us to totally reliant on the government for everything. That way all decisions are controlled by the upper (ruling class). NO MORE FREEDOM for the average student or Adult or family. Sounds like the Russia, Hitler’s Germany or Mao’s China.
Let’s be honest folks within the past quarter century we have gotten to the point where 99.9% of those who procreated should have been sterilized before they could procreate.
And who exactly is going to decide who should procreate and who should not. What is someone told your parents they could not have you, Craig Michael Vandertie? That’s was Adolph Hitler’s idea. No surprise that mind set has resurfaced during the Trump era, which thankfully end next year.
Happy Holiday’s all!
Trump’s not going to be gone. You may as well accept that he’ll be around for another 4 years. Hehe
You mean the Dems who celebrate Margaret Sanger and her eugenics ideology. Only a party of pure evil and its heinous followers believes it’s ok to terminate/murder a full term baby. Have they no heart!
Thank God and Jesus for Trump. He cares more for the American people than the Dems who will sell out to any nation who pays them the right price.
Ex: Hillary and uranium One. Biden who had the prosecutor who was investigating the company his son worked for, fired in the Ukraine. Pelosi and her vacant post office land acquisition for her husbands construction company, fast and furious guns given to Mexican cartel during Obamas presidency, and what about Benghazi ? Hillary’s deleted emails. Why wasn’t the aforementioned investigated? I could go on.
There is no there there in the Dems fake impeachment scam. They couldn’t find anything scandalous on him so they made something up. Trump will make it through and the Dems will be punished for their power grab.
Oh man when y’all get your asses whipped im sure your TDS will be on full display
Don’t blame Trump for stupid people! They been around long before he became PRESIDENT! It not Happy holidays! It MERRY CHRISTMAS! Trump doing what we elect him to do! MAGA!
Craig – DID YOU??? Such hyprocracy – you don’t want to live by the rules YOU think are valid…WHO MADE YOU GOD???
A member of the Democrat Cult
Scott
This idiot Liberal hypocrite. He says that sending Christmas cards are not ECO friendly, but he sends letters telling parents he will no longer allow Christmas cards sent. This is kind of liberal idiot we don’t need in our schools. You parents should screw him and send the cards anyway, SENDING a CHRISTMAS CARD TO HIM ALSO!! I wonder how he would feel!!
Anti Christian assholes like this should be removed from the job.. no place in the world for these pukes. Dems. Lefties. Or other idiots who want to tell people what to do or say. I say f you.
AND JOHN, what about YOU…as someone who uses the “f” and the “a..h….” words, which sure IS anti-Christian, perhaps you put YOURSELF in the same catagory of those who should be eliminated??? NOT for me OR YOU to judge…try to say somethin positive…like…”God loves YOU anyhow”…
Hey who do you think put President trump in the white house look I know facts don’t matter to y’all but fact of the matter the man is doing what we want him to do drain swamp, fixing our broken borders ,helping our vets ,putting America first and by the way stock market doing great lowest unemployment ever and small business is thriving how do I know all this I’m not a blind dumb ass I pay attention to facts ,ok so potus is a little rough around the edges but this is the person we elected and will re elect .
Not really surprised.Its the UK. Not all. But,alot over there will be led to death. Like hearding sheep. But, we have teachers here in the good ol U.S telling kids in grade school.Its alright your a boy and want to cut your pecker off to be a girl. And much more.
I agree this is the work of Satan, but most of you missed the fact that this was in the U.K.
We have the same idiots in the U.S. but now we know it is spreading to everywhere!! We have to welcome God back into our homes, schools, and society in general! We are still a Christian nation no matter what the idiot liberals try to convince us is no longer true!! God Bless All Nations!!
AND if we believe it we MUST show it kindly – – 0therwise…WHO would want it????
sk him what does he do to stop it
Another climate change loon who’s been suckered into the climate scam by the political hacks and pseudo-scientists who are only looking to maintain their grants to keep BSing people. That kind of stupidity can’t be fixed. Real science tells us that one volcano puts out more noxious gases than the whole human race can in years but you don’t see any of the fakes trying to do something about that nor do you ever see many comments about solar flare activity which is waning to the effect of 224 days without one and which has happened before to the point of the mini Ice age via a Maunder minimum. Besides that the sun has been burning for billions of years consuming itself and these children expect it to continue forever. Won’t they be surprised when it finally dies like other stars have. I have to wonder who’ll they’ll blame then.
If he mailed 275 letters. How do you think mail is moved? DUH!! Why did he not give the pupils the letters to take home? He is not thinking is he.
Parents should grab and feed the loon fool spoonful’s of Reindeer crap….!
He has a more immature mind than the children of the school. He should have removed some of the pleasures he enjoys in life. Obviously a person of low degree to interfere with the innocence of a child’s enjoyment at Christmas.
The battle is not a physical one as such, but a spiritual battle for the souls of our children. Home school and teach your children Gods values, not corrupt Globalists who honour Satan
I’m a Christian who loves Christmas; but I love the environment also and there is some merit to this man’s point–How about installing some sort of digital message board where greetings can be posted
the problem is the DAMN DEMOCRATS WHO ARE SO FULL OF SHIT THEY CAN’T SEE A FOOT IN FRONT OF THEM. IT IS ALL A BULL SHIT FORUM. THERE IS FINALLY A PRESIDENT WHO GOES BALLS TO THE WALL AND ISN’T AN ASS KISSING YES MAN AND THE DUMB DEMO’S CAN’T HANDLE IT. SO IF THE GOVERNMENT IS IN TURMOIL WHY NOT START SOME MORE STUPID SHIT. FIRST THE TAKE GOD OUT OF THE SCHOOLS, THEY DRAG OUR FLAG THROUGH THE MUD, THE FOREIGNERS HAVE MORE TO SAY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS HERE THEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO LIVED THEIR WHOLE LIVES HERE NOW THEY WANT TO DUMP ON OUR CHILDREN’S TIME TO BE A KID AND BELIEVE IN SANTA, ELVES, CHRISTMAS. THE JOY OF GIVING, LOVING AND HELPING OTHERS. WE MIGHT AS WELL GIVE UP LIVING. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE THE ONES GETTING THE BEATDOWN AND IT NEEDS TO STOP NOW.
