But if Julius Caesar created July, and Augustus Caesar created August, maybe we should have Baracktober?

That would require giving up the concept of racial identity which is for some people the only way they belong to anything.

Just teach history.”

JUST TEACH!!! SOMETHING relevant!!

“Graduates” from high school today are basically unemployable.
Cannot WRITE—They PRINT..Makes me nuts.
Cannot do math—only with a calculator- cannot do math in their heads—at all.
Cannot COUNT OUT CHANGE correctly...Give me a wad of change and bills and walks away —again—makes me nuts.
Cannot dress properly for the interview or for the actual job.
Cannot leave their cell phones- I-Pods—texting devices— in their cars and think they can use them at will during the work day when on the clock...Grounds for instant firing if I am the boss.
Cannot realize that all those metal attachments on their bodies are not attractive to the retail public and to some of us are downright disgusting.
The ‘new bakery owner’ who is interviewed on TV and he has a nose ring and other metal attachments. Shuuure—I am going to buy something Mr Nose Ring baked from scratch!!! NOT!
You all know what I mean.
Teaching today is a 13 year exercise in producing a lemon.
If we had lemon laws on students, the courts could NOT take care of anything else.

Exactly, only the insecure need a ‘highlight’ month.

Very well put! (though I know you inferred it, I would have inserted the adv accurately after the word 'history')
