It is holiday time and you are the principal of your community's only middle school. Every year the school has sponsored a Christmas pageant which was somewhat religious in orientation, reflecting the prevailing sentiment of the majority of the parents. This also reflects your sentiments as well. The local churches have provided many resources to make this annual event a success and most of the students always look forward to participating in the singing, orchestral performances, and Biblical re-enactments of the events celebrated by the season. This year, however, some parents of newly arrived Islamic students approach you and inform you that they do not want to have their children to participate in the pageant and that, further, they believe it is inappropriate for the pageant to sponsored by the school at all. You take this concern to your parent advisory group, which does not include the Islamic parents, and to the local clergy association. They say that a minority of parents should not have a right to stop this event which is favored by the majority. Instead, they recommend that the Islamic students be excused from any participation in the event itself and from any rehearsals conducted during school time as well. They also remind you or your own religious connections to the community and that to "stray" would show ineffective leadership on your part. You know the law regarding this issue, but you also know that it has been conveniently avoided over the years because there never was an objection before.
1. Do you have any ethical responsibilities to address in the matter? Is so, what are they? If not, why?
2. Assume you decide not to change the Holiday pageant. What might be the fall out and how would you address it?
3. Assume you decide to make changes to accommodate the students of Islamic faith. Making any changes will, undoubtedly, hurt your standing in the school community. How would you address this with the community and your school faculty and staff?
