Elementary School Stops Celebrating Valentine’s Day
Bruce Vento Elementary School, in St. Paul, has decided to stop celebrating Valentine’s Day along with other “dominant holidays” including Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Principal Scott Masini wrote a letter to parents stating that, 'One of the concerns that I have,” he wrote, “…is whether or not this practice is encroaching on the educational opportunities of others and threatening the culture of tolerance and respect for all.'
This has caused quite a backlash in the community.
