The administration of Healey Primary school in the English county of Lancashire has banned students from sending postcards wishing each other a merry Christmas. The administration explained this step by saying that the tradition causes discomfort to children who forget to congratulate, causes them tears, irritability and unmotivated aggression. Instead of address cards, students were offered to congratulate the entire class with one card.
The administration's decision has already caused outrage among parents of schoolchildren, who angrily declare that in this way their children's festive mood is being taken away, the Daily Mail writes. Activists of the educational movement have already made a statement that such actions only prove that the religious holiday of Christmas is gradually being pushed out of schools, which in itself is a very alarming signal.

The new ban came as a complete surprise to parents of schoolchildren. In response to a request to send out a complete list of class students to send Christmas greetings, they received a written notification from the administration as follows: "We ask you to congratulate the entire class with one postcard and not send postcards to all students. This is necessary in order to avoid conflicts and quarrels between those who have received congratulations and those who have been forgotten."

Outraged parents believe that greeting cards for classmates and friends are an integral part of Christmas, and it is unfair to deprive children of such pleasure. Other parents call what is happening absurd. "It's like banning birthday parties for fear of offending those who weren't invited to them!"quot;, they say.

Representatives of the school administration strongly reject all accusations of "banning Christmas" on the school grounds. They explain their position primarily by the financial situation of the parents of some students, who often cannot afford to buy a lot of Christmas cards for a fairly decent amount. In addition, by prohibiting the mailing of postcards, the school administration hopes to avoid conflicts between students, as well as save "precious study time", which is spent on delivering postcards during the lesson. The refusal to provide the parents of the students with a complete list of students with addresses was also motivated by security concerns.

Meanwhile, an alarming study published in the UK last week claims that 36% of young Albion residents between the ages of 18 and 24 do not even suspect that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, and not in some other place. Another study indicates that only one out of five British schools is planning to stage a traditional "Christmas play" on Christmas Eve this year (a dramatization of the gospel scene about the Nativity of Christ, performed by children). Other schools are gradually abandoning this tradition, fearing to offend the feelings of non-Christians.
