My concern is “WINTER HOLIDAY” in lieu of “CHRISTMAS VACATION”
It should be an issue with everyone of us!!

I looked at the Calendar -— they take off “Good Friday” (which I believe is Christian) and Rosh Hashanah (which is Jewish).

With the guy we have in the Whitey House and all of the RATS in Congress, it is only a matter of time until something on the Muzzie Calendar will be “nationally recognized” by the U.S. Government.

The schools in our town close for Rosh Hoshanna and Yom Kippur. If the school population is such that a large percentage of the kis are going to miss class , why wouldn’t you close for the day?

This is really not news.

Schools will send students home for wearing crusifixes, but will close for Muslim holidays? Political correctness is running rampant in them.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

That’s 12 schooling threads in one night. I think it that’s a record on FR.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Our nation's socialist schools are not a failure. They are working **exactly** as intended from the very first day they opened in the mid-1800s to early 1900s. They are producing a mind-numbed population of voters who are compliant serfs of the ruling elite.

I am exasperated. One more generation of this and I seriously fear that our nation will slide into tyranny. I can't understand why other conservatives fail to see the urgency of the threat.

Personally...I am **done** with having socialist school teachers as friends. I limit my contact with them as much as possible. I don't care how well intentioned, sweet, or nice, they are. They **willingly** work for a socialist system that is teaching children to think and reason godlessly and children who attend these schools risk becoming comfortable with socialism and government control of their lives. Sorry! That is just too much. I have made a decision. They are **out** of my life!

You know, that’s odd. Definitely odd.
