   Belgian School Ditches Mother’s Day In The Name Of “Diversity”…   
      
   Sunday is Mother’s Day. But not in the French school ‘Sing Line’ in   
   Woluwe-Saint-Lambert. The management sent parents an email yesterday with the   
   message that the children will not make gifts for Mother’s Day “out of   
   respect for the many    
   different cultures that our school has to offer. A diversity that we are   
   extremely proud,” said the message.   
      
   Fathers should not hope for a gift, it reads in the mail from the school in   
   the Brussels borough. “Because there are different cultures in our school   
   are represented. And not all celebrate,” says director Dominique Paquot.   
   “We played some time with    
   that idea. Even as more and more children have divorced parents. Some have two   
   mothers or two fathers, others, do not have mom or dad more,” the director   
   adds. “That many children saddled with a lot of stress.”   
      
   The reasoning of the board can not rely on all parents to understand. “This   
   is a tradition that has nothing to do with religion,” it sounds a mother. Or   
   even: “What could be better than a product to be spoiled with a gift that   
   your child at school    
   has pieced together That’s all cultures?” Said an angry father on Facebook.
