Bangor High School Teacher Ordered To Remove Christmas Tree From Classroom

Bangor High School math teacher, Catherine Gordon, posted on her Facebook page that she had been ordered by the school's principal last week to remove a small Christmas tree from her classroom.

In the Facebook post, Gordon said that the 'tree had no religious symbols on it whatsoever. No crosses or angels, just pink Hello Kitties and my students really enjoyed it and it cheered me up during the day.'

Bangor School Superintendent Betsy Webb issued the following statement on this matter.

'In alignment with national and state standards, the Bangor School Department educates students about culture, traditions and holidays through curriculum ties in English language arts, music, art, social studies and world languages.'

Gordon also added in her Facebook post on how the school department's attitude toward observing Christmas has changed.

What do you think? Do you think the teacher should be allowed to have kept the tree in her classroom? Or do you agree with the school?
