I'm a teacher and each month we have a character education theme. January's theme is goal setting. I give my students a little football helmet to write a paragraph about the goals they have and we go over the steps it takes to accomplish a goal. The twin girls I have in my class that are Jehovah witnesses said they can't do the paragraph on the helmet. I by no means want to have them do anything against their religion but a football helmet is not a holiday. What gives? They wrote the paragraph but not on the helmet. Also, our school color is green and we have spirit day on Friday and students are encouraged to wear any green shirt they have. The girls won't do that either. IT'S NOT A HOLIDAY!!! Why can't they do that? I do not want to seem insensitive but I don't understand. Please, someone that really knows, please clarify. Thanks!
