Reply #9: You were advised not to ignore the principal

[Fredda Weinberg]

And to start a paper trail with the superintendant.

I have my own history ... it was confusing, to say the least, to dye Easter eggs when I was a devoutly Orthodox Jew, but my mother was cool with it - we actually had a great time - and that helped me through the episode and my later transition to the secular world. I suggest that your attitude, however righteous, may do more harm than good.

Good luck with your cause and hope you can keep a sense of humor as you recover your momentum.
