Why We Are Going to Hell – Part 4,025
America’s New Holiday
by
Public school students throughout California will be celebrating May 22 as a new holiday.
On this day, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, was born. As was Sir Laurence Oliver, arguably the world’s greatest artist.
Richard Wagner, the great composer, was born on May 22 but his music will not be played for the students in commemoration of his works.
Nor will Tommy Franks, the Yankee pitcher, be honored on this day, let alone St. Rita of Cascia, the patron of desperate causes.
May 22 by an act of legislation signed into law yesterday by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is Harvey Milk Day.
Harvey Milk, born on May 22, was the first openly practicing homosexual to be elected to public office. As a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, he was responsible for the passage of stringent laws to protect the rights of the gay community.
On November 27, 1978, Mr. Milk and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone were gunned down and killed by Dan White, another city supervisor who had resigned and wanted his job back.
Mr. Milk is now hailed as “the martyr for gay rights.”
Not everyone is pleased with the new feast day.

Will the schools be serving twinkies?
They will celebrate the day by shooting milk out of their noses!
Schwarzeneggar should know better than to try to appease the unappeasable.
If I were a kid having to do this I would put a drop of pink food coloring in my milk as protest, or mix in some strawberry Quik.
Parents — all the more reason to homeschool.
Wanna bet a ballot initiative will come up to undo this.
then they wonder why the schools in this country are lagging behind the world in many subjects.
how about teaching history and I mean real history not the nonsense of the war was all about slavery crap or geography.
The reason we have these idiots in power is because of ignorance and being lazy.
I can remember when California was a really cool place to live. Man did that go bad fast.
"Feast Day"? WTF?
Feast for whom and on what? Eeeew.
They should use the day to teach the kids how a POS Psychopath like Dan White used the Twinkee Defense to beat a double murder rap.
That, is so gay.
Harvey and Arnold are girlie-men.
Or out of other orifices...
They can’t celebrate any white guys unless they are gays. What a lousy mess CA has become.
I was a kid when this happened. The joke was that Danny White's mother chewed him out because "I sent you to get Milk and Baloney, not Milk and Muscone!"
Another reason to homeschool: Day of Silence. Students are encouraged to silently protest lack of equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in this country. Children should not be used as political pawns by school officials.
Maybe they will use the day to teach the kids about the devastating effects of AIDS when two homo’s have unprotected sex....
No need to do that since they already teach kids how to use condoms.
What about Congressman Leo Ryan who was shot and killed by Jim Jones’ thugs that Milk supported.
Next: Posthumous Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 for Harv' the Perv'
Celebrating a man know for his open homosexuality?
How can **anyone** claim that government education is religiously neutral?
How can any Christian pastor say in any way that government schools are OK in any form for a Christian child?
How can any parent with an nanogram of Christian belief allow their child to attend one of these godless temples of depravity?
And...What **specifically** have Christian teachers done to oppose it? What **specifically** is planned? And...Why haven't these so-called Christian teachers been fired yet? If they haven't been fired yet, they are **part** of the problem and are assisting and abetting evil in exchange for a paycheck and gold plated pension. SHAME ON THEM!
Finally, there are schools in this nation where it would be better for a child to receive NO education whatsoever than to ever step foot in one. California government schools now fall into that category!
Please remember that Hannity was a shill for this guy, Arnold!
SHAME ON HANNITY!
(By the way.... The same guy who is too gutless to cover Obama’s eligibility.)
Does the word “Abomination” still have any meaning?
First they said I had to tolerate people who were differnt from me in the workplace. OK, I want to get along, so I went along. I swallowed my pride, tried not to vomit as a man wearing pigtails and lace sewn into his overalls (Osh Kosh, B’Gosh)walked down the hall at Dell’s headquartes in Round Rock, TX.
Even looking at him would result in a visit to HR. So, we averted out eyes and refused to comment even behind closed doors. After all, it only takes one person to rat you out, and you are gonna be fired.
Then we were told to ‘Celebrate Diversity’; lumping gays in with Hindu,Chinese, Buddhist and other minority workes.
Now, we are commanded to celebrate the degenerates; as if they actually accomplished something important. Dell has celebrations where these people are portayed as ‘Heroes’ and brave. Makes me sick.
They created White Guilt, and now Hetero Guilt.
The above suggestion implies that government schools can be reformed.
GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS CAN NOT BE REFORMED!
GOVERNMENT ALWAYS WERE AND ARE NOW A SOCIALIST SCHEME!
SOCIALISM CAN NOT BE FIXED!
Government schools in the mid 1800s and early 1900s gained traction due to the virulent anti-Catholism against the floods of Catholic immigrants entering the county. Ah! But those Protestants failed to understand the following:
Any government powerful enough to impose a generic Protestantism on our nation's children is powerful enough to impose Harvey Milk Day on our kids!
Government schools can NOT be reformed. There is only one solution:
We must begin the process of privatizing universal K-12 education.
( Yes, I am shouting. I am exasperated with conservatives who believe that government schools can be fixed. )
“Does the word “Abomination” still have any meaning?”
Stand by. I’m sure it will soon be listed as a word that is indicative of discrimination. Refer to anything as an abomination and you will be sent to re-education camp.
It’s all about drinking the Kool Aid.
Columbus is “out” because he didn’t discover Obama’s Kool Aid.
Milk is “in” because he helped fund Jonestown and vicariously new uses for Kool Aid.
Is that the name of rock band? ( Just wondering.) :-(
No, I don't think it has meaning any longer. We are all cooked frogs.
By the way...Any bets that Rush, Hannity, Beck, OReilly, Ingram, Levine, Boortz, or any of the other not so brave talk show hosts will cover this? Or will they hide behind the same screen that protects Obama’s eligibility from scrutiny?
Just remember...That these talk show host are, yes, useful but unprincipled! When tyranny comes they will lick the boots of their masters and turn their considerable talents to promoting oppression.
<<<”Another reason to homeschool: Day of Silence. Students are encouraged to silently protest lack of equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in this country. Children should not be used as political pawns by school officials.”>>>
When my daughter was in high school, I complained to the school administration about the Day of Silence. I felt it was more than indoctrination, but that it trampeled on my daughter’s first amendment rights to religious freedom. Since teachers were encouraged to empathize with gays, and hence remain quiet throughout the day, they were in essence teaching my daughter, and other Christians, that their beliefs and their knowledge of Biblical truths were wrong. I even called the Center for Law and Justice which goes to court for the rights of Christian people. But they told me they were unable to do anything at that time. They suggested I give my daughter religious tracts to hand out, and if she was prevented from doing so, then they would intervene. When I called the school, I was given a complete runaround and ended up with the assistant principal who gave me the prepared speech that he must have learned at a seminar. Then they had the teacher-mentor of the GLSEN (?) group at the school call me. They always try to make it a human rights issue, but I kept insisting it was a freedom of religion issue. Of course, it got nowhere. My daughter ended up going to school in a “Straight Pride” tee shirt and getting spit at by lesbians and called homophobic by their parents. Homeschooling should be an option for every Christian parent. If you can’t teach, there are many computer curricula out there.
...and they can’t figure out why the tax base just keeps shrinking....
Not to distract from the gist of the article, but it's Sir Laurence Olivier, and by no stretch would anyone consider him the world's greatest artist, though perhaps actor. If you want to be taken seriously, check your facts before publishing or at least proof-read.
“Don’t drink the milk, it’s spoiled” /obscure
I think that was from an old Spanky and Our Gang show. Kids were in an orphanage and sitting around a table whispering to each other not to drink the spoiled milk.
See you, and raise you one lefty court decision to undo the ballot initiative.
It seems like once every month or so there is another day set aside where everyone is supposed to drop everything else and spend their time advancing the gay agenda—AIDS day, Coming Out day, Harvey Milk Day, Day of Silence...it’s endless.
Am I right??? What do I win?
If I understand it correctly, this new “law” merely suggests/encourages schools to celebrate the pervert - sounds to me like it is optional for each district. Not that this makes it any less pernicious and detestable, but I’m sure that many conservative districts outside the sodomic cities will just ignore any reference to the perv unless another proclamation is passed making it mandatory, which I’m sure is in the pike.
Regardless, the freaky Californians elected whoever introduced it. Therefore, they get what they voted for, freaks.
I think that I know how they want the boys to celebrate, but how do they want the girls to celebrate?
We, as a Nation, become more degenerate each day it seems.
All I know is, if he was still attending school, my child would not attend that day. The Terminator can go to hell.
close, very close
Forced viewings of Brokeback Mountain?
I can't imagine.
It would be a "holiday" mourning the rapid slide of a rational society.
But they will force young children to elevate and celebrate a Sodomite. K-12 is now being treated like NAMBLA’s training ground in California.
They will celebrate the day by milking cows!
