School Yuletide Observances Shift Into Neutral By Erika Hayasaki and Joel Rubin, LA Times Staff Writers latimes.com .......Sometimes, however, efforts to strike that balance lead to unusual results.

Richard Ackerman, attorney for the foundation and president of the Pro-Family Law Center based in Temecula, said the woman he represented was upset because the school supported the Day of the Dead celebration even as it forbade Christmas programs.
