Crickey, my daughter's kindergarden teacher emailed me to ask me if it was OK for my daughter to participate in school christmas activities as she was aware of our religious background. She said she respected our differences and did not want my kid to be subjected to any confusion. I emailed her back and told her about Eid, etc., and also mentioned that it was OK for her to be part of the celebrations because they were harldy religious in nature but rather fun and exciting.
I had very similar experience just last year. My son's kindergarten teacher REQUESTED that ALL Muslim kids in the class bring in something from their culture (food) for the Ramadan Eid. So the class can share and enjoy, and understand the celebration of Eid. She said it's all about cultural awareness.
I was really absolutely touched by this gesture. She is white - more likely Irish. There cannot be more kind and gentle behavior than this, in the entire race of humanity! esp. when the rest of the world (media) is simply poisoning everyone's mind about a specific culture.
