What a complete @$$ ... I hope the parents string him up by his family jewels ... Oh, wait - he probably has none!
I’m so sick of this cultural genocide going on.
How long before he demands that a more inclusive name than “St. Paul” be used for the city?
BAN CHURCH AND STATE!
“Principal Scott Masini of Bruce Vento Elementary School, whose student body is overwhelmingly nonwhite, explained in the letter that ââ¬Åmy personal feeling is we need to find a way to honor and engage in holidays that are inclusive of our student population.ââ¬Â”
So to be inclusive he EXCLUDES non-whites from traditional American holidays?
Who is the racist?
Sounds like something from the Onion.
Feb 3rd is St. Blaise Day- Watch your throat.
Good idea, cancel all those holidays. Nice that the schools and public services will be open all day, the teachers will be in their classrooms, the administrators and personnel will be taking care of the school, etc.
If they want the day off due to their personal religious or cultural views, of course they may take it without pay!
Liberals are American ISIS - destroying everything in their path.
Respect all cultures... except our own.
people like this principal need to have there jobs taken away. the little one need to have fun while going to school. I remember getting excited about things like valentines day.
“The district is one of the stateâs largest and most ethnically diverse. As of October, its student body was 31.5 percent Asian-American, 30.3 percent black, 22.5 percent white, 13.9 percent Hispanic and 1.82 percent American Indian, according to the districtâs demographics Web page. Among its 37,000 or so students, more than 100 languages and dialects are spoken, the Web page added.”
Sounds like the tower of Babel.
Stopping immigration is the #1 issue.
I take that back, that’s #2. Stopping the left is the #1 issue.
Parents and school boards let them get away with it. Remember that.
How about eradicating the dominance of political correctness?
They are ruining everything. I know my people were foreigners once a long, long time ago, but no way am I celebrating a non-Christian culture's holidays. I have done Christmas Swedish style and we use other countries' customs like Yule Log but let the reader understand . . . .
My great grandchildren, I have 3, will celebrate diversity and oh Skeeter Davis is on C2C, love that song, End of the World. Very fitting, kind of the end of the world so many of us grew up in. I don't know when was the last time I saw a child playing outside. They do when it snows, but my neighborhood where there were so many happy times for my children, has no more children.
Well, they won't know Skeeter Davis or Karen Carpenter or a lot of the oldies either.
“ââ¬ÅOne of the concerns that I have,ââ¬Â Masini wrote, ââ¬Å ââ¬Â¦ is whether or not this practice is encroaching on the educational opportunities of others and threatening the culture of tolerance and respect for all.ââ¬Â”
Is this for real? Do people really think this way?! That’s crazy. How in the world does a few pretty decorations and the kids bringing in treats a few days a year encroach on “educational opportunities?” More astounding is that anyone could have the thought that doing such an innocuous thing might somehow be threatening and disrespectful to anyone.
Out with the old-—St. Valentine’s (and Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas)——and in with the new and inclusive pantheon-—Baphomet, Allah, Siva and Lucifer? (sarc)
“One of the concerns that I have,”Masini wrote, “is whether or not this practice is encroaching on the educational opportunities of others and threatening the culture of tolerance and respect for all”
What bull spit. I defy anyone to show me how decorations, dressing up, or having a classroom party with candy or whatever is going to prevent someone from getting an education.
As for “threatening the culture of tolerance”, isn’t it funny that always translates into “we’ll chuck all our traditions and ruin the fun for all the rest of the kids because a one or two (or their parents) don’t like it.” It never seems to mean “these things are part of our culture and traditions, and we enjoy celebrating them. We understand you might not enjoy them yourself, and you are free not to participate.”
