Again, whatâs going on isnât bad because it happens to touch on things significant to Christians, and itâs bad when Christians only care about Palestine and Israel because it fits with their religious worldview. Yet, it would be a missed opportunity to talk about Bethlehem this Christmas season without asking about the West Bank, Israel, and Gaza, and how to make a better world for everyone there.

Kiddoâs grade is learning about how âother countries celebrate the holidays,â but Iâm afraid the result will be reinforcing US Christian supremacy. Framing Hanukkah as Israeli suggests that it is foreign to the US, no? I also worry that there will be a class assigned to do Kwanzaa âfrom Africa.â
