Since Father's Day has already past, this story may be a little outdated, but as I only saw the article recently, I could not comment on it any earlier :).
It seems as though a number of schools in Scotland banned the children from making cards for Father's Day.
The Telegraph reports:
The Telegraph article is located here.Thousands of primary pupils were prevented from making Father's Day cards at school for fear of embarrassing classmates who live with single mothers and lesbians.
The politically correct policy was quietly adopted at schools "in the interests of sensitivity" over the growing number of lone-parent and same-sex households.
Another article about this is found here.
While I understand the desire to be sensitive to children, this seems to be a little overboard.
Just my thoughts,
Frank
