A Jewish parent found what she thought was clear evidence of favoritism when an outdoor Christmas tree lighting was planned at the school, located in Carmel, California.
Shel Lyons, a parent at Carmel River School in northern California, sued the school Dec. 7, 2021, after it refused to allow an inflatable menorah (left) at an event centered around the school's "holiday tree" (right). The lawsuit was quickly dismissed. (photo credit: The Jewish News of Northern California)ByGABE STUTMAN / JTA
