Redmen is proud tradition

There's always someone who wants to change things to suit them. No matter what you do, you can't please everyone.

So it's best to leave things as they are.

We've gone so far the other way, bent over backward to not offend anyone, that I am now offended.

When will they do something about our rights?

We celebrate Christmas ... but because it's not celebrated by everyone, you can't say Merry Christmas and it's not Christmas break, it's winter break.

Now it's a holiday tree, not a Christmas tree. And coming to school in Halloween costumes is out.

You can't say a prayer in school or pledge allegiance to the flag.

I could go on and on ... all this because someone doesn't like it and now they want to take away the Natick Redmen logo.

Save the Natick Redmen. Don't let a proud 50-year tradition be taken away by seven committee members who have no school spirit.

Go Natick Redmen, we want another 50 years.
