Respecting our different religions and nationalities
|
This is a fabulous site where teachers from all over the world unite in the one thing
we all have in common: we�re English teachers.
Therefore it bothers me that the Season�s greetings here that some are leaving are just too
religious. I think a Happy Hanukkah, or Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa,Happy Holidays or Season�s Greetings are fine.
But when some of the messages are blaring in our faces about the miracles of Jesus or
whatever - I feel offended and so do others here.
Can�t we just wish each other well, without all the embellishments?
We�re not here to convert each other - we�re here to respect each other, and share
in our common interest - teaching and teaching materials.
Happy Holidays
thank you

Hi libertybell,
I am a complete heathen myself, and yet I understand how some people like to express their joy in the season by making reference to their beliefs. I think tolerance would be a wonderful thing to add to that respect. It doesn�t really hurt anyone to see a few words put on the screen expressing someone�s joy - does it?
