My 6 year old was fed Ham in school today. advice?

The mammals and birds that may be eaten must be slaughtered in accordance with Jewish law. (Deut. 12:21). We may not eat animals that died of natural causes (Deut. 14:21) or that were killed by other animals.

Sounds like roadkill is OK, as long as it isn't a pig or a coon or a possum.​

We brought in a Menorah to share Hannukah with her class this winter.... so the teacher should have had some kind of clue... and she was fed ham as part of a Dr. Seuss celebration... without any parental notification. I understand that many of you eat ham, and that is totally fine, but we don't eat ham. We don't believe in eating ham. and I am totally unsure how to proceed. any advice?

Leave it alone. I bet your kid loved it. Also, if you are so concerned about what is served at school, pack a lunch for your kid. Problem solved.​

I have read some of the thread. I will just say that the green eggs and ham day will happen every year, so you can let her teacher know, and remind them about again before hand.

Actually I am surprised that this parent was allowed to bring in a Menorah. Society is really touchy now about religion in schools and state buildings. Putting anything religious in some schools at Christmas time has caused uproars, even Christmas carols have been criticized in some areas.

They're pretty tolerant of most other religions.. imo.

Not entirely true, but not at all false either. I think that non-religious people tend to be less tolerant of Christianity because it's everywhere, and they're a bit tired of hearing about it. They complain about other religions, but they don't do it as much because the other religions haven't become such a huge part of the USA yet.
I could be wrong, though.
