Principal Steals Christmas — You’re a mean one, Ms. Kim.
Eujin Jaela Kim, principal of PS 169 in Brooklyn, has banned any mention of the word Christmas and has replaced the holiday with “winter celebration.”
She has also stopped the Pledge of Allegiance, replaced Thanksgiving with “Harvest Festival” and has taken down historic murals.
If she hates America so much why is she living here? Is it just for the money? Well, New York public school principals have it kind of sweet.
Rather than get mad at her, though, look to make lemonade from this lemon. If parents had the power to choose their schools very few would send their children to schools run by the likes of Ms. Kim. We doubt few would want to touch her even with a 39-and-a-half-foot pole. Fight for charter schools. Fight for school vouchers. Fight the corrupt educational monopoly.
By the way, it’s not like no one has tried to replace Christmas before.
