Public School 169

I in this school before but the new principle is Korean. She banned Christmas in the school. It's an American holiday she can't just banned it! If she change this school would be a good school to stay.

We definitely can’t say Christmas, nothing with Christmas on it, nothing with Santa.”
NEW YORK – Thirty-three year old Brooklyn principal Eujin Jaela Kim replaced her school’s Christmas parties with “winter celebrations,” and outlawed The Pledge of Allegiance.The new principal also eliminated Thanksgiving, despite clear notice from the city’s department of education allowing for holiday themes and symbols, the New York Post reports. We definitely can’t say Christmas, nothing with Christmas on it, nothing with Santa,” local PTA president Mimi Ferrer told the news site. “No angels. We can’t even have a star because it can represent a religious system, like the Star of David.”
About 95 percent of students at Brooklyn’s PS 169 are either Hispanic or Asian, and assistant principal Jose Chaparro announced last month that the school is changing its holiday traditions to “be sensitive of the diversity of our families. Not all children celebrate the same holidays,” Chaparro wrote.
That’s undoubtedly why the city’s Department of Education allows schools to use Santa as a secular figure, Christmas trees, candleholders for Kwanzaa, Islamic symbols, dreidels, and Hanukkah menorahs, while prohibiting against “images of deities, religious figures or religious texts,” according to the news site.
But each school’s policies are left up to local leaders, and Kim apparently prefers to error on the side of political correctness. In case you were wondering about grey areas: Santa Claus is considered an ‘other religious figure,’” PS 169 business manager Johanna Bjorken wrote to staff last month, according to the Post. Kim took over leadership of PS 169 this year from interim principal Joseph Iorio, who told the media the school operated much differently under his leadership. Iorio said Assemblyman Felix Ortiz used to dress as Santa to visit children at the school during Christmas time. Iorio would also direct student leaders to recite The Pledge of Allegiance over the loudspeaker every Monday. Those traditions and others were scrubbed when Kim cleaned house.
The Post reports: Soon after joining PS 169 in May 2014, her first time as a principal, (Kim) ordered the faculty to clear their classrooms of “clutter.” She moved hundreds of books and loads of supplies into the gym, where parents and other community members took what they wanted. The rest was tossed in the trash.
She also dumped boxes of newly purchased reading books in the basement because she preferred another curriculum, staffers said.
Kim bought seven 70-to-80-inch Sharp flat-screen smart TVs, which retail at about $3,000 each. After painting over and removing historic murals, she had the TVs mounted in the auditorium — three over the stage and two on each side.

Eujin Jaela "CEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY" Kim is the name of the School principal . Eujin Jaela Kim is a true racist and should be removed from her job asap.

Principal Kim, HOW DARE YOU!!! What you have chosen to do in this school is disgraceful. Removing holidays and the pledge of allegiance??? That is a completely anti-American stance and sends a strong message of civil disobedience and lack of patriotism. What you have done has gone nationwide and I hope the negative publicity rains down on you with such vengeance that you are forced to resign. Our children do not need leadership like you.

New principal Eujin Jaela Kim has ruined the school. The Pledge of Allegiance is no longer recited. “Harvest festival” has replaced Thanksgiving, and “winter celebrations” substitute for Christmas parties. All to the dismay of teachers and parents. She should be thrown out of the school
