Nice phallic symbol you have there.

My grade school used to weave a Maypole on graduation day. I wonder if they still do, now that more people are aware of its origins and purposes.

I suspect that what you mean here is "now that I'm aware of its origins and purposes", and I think it's unlikely that the school's procedures depend much on that. :-)

Um, no. I think it's perfectly possible for some parents[1] to complain that their children are involved in a phallic fertility display, and for the school to change the event because of the complaints.


[1] BTW, this now includes me since my kid goes to this school. But I'm not going to complain about it. Snigger, yes; complain, no.

That's a long-standing belief, but according to Wikipedia, the origin and purpose of the Maypole is not known.

That is a lovely photo of a lovely ritual object.
