This is what happens when government is involved in education. Biggest mistake the American people ever made.

Interesting that the day following O’Green day is still St. Patrick’s Day...

St Patrick was a gentleman
He came from decent people
He built his church in Dublin Town
And on it put a steeple
His father was a Gallagher
His mother was a Grady
His aunt was an O’Shaughnessy
His uncle was a Brady
The Wicklow Hills are very high
And so is the Hill of Howth sir
There’s a hill much higher still
Higher than them both sir
On the top of this high hill
St Patrick preached his sermon
Which drove the frogs into the bogs
And banished all the vermin

Maybe Chicago will replace the traditional dyeing of the Chicago River green with a rainbow flavor to be, well, you know.

Just another example of the indoctrination of the next generation of left-wing moonbats.

Why is St. Patrick's day not inclusive? Neither is MLK day or Black History Month.

Washington's birthday is now "president's day".

Is the left going to take all of our traditional holidays and turn them into something "diversified"?

Government schools are indocrination units now.

Janet Carlyle says: “I don‘t understand why they would change history’s old holiday names to something just to remove the essence of religion...”

You’ve already answered your own question Ms. Carlyle.

On this day, students are apparently being encouraged to wear green and they will be treated to special, green colored vegetables in the cafeteria.

Green vegetables? How novel!

Do you think changing Thanksgiving Day to "Give People The Bird Day" will fly?

There is absolutely no reason why people who peomote this kind of PC idiocy should not immediately be removed from their positions and thrown into prison.

I call it hate speech against the Catholic Church.
