N.J. district reverses course, will add holiday names back onto school calendar

The Randolph Board of Education did an about-face Monday evening on its decision to remove holiday names from the school calendar following tremendous backlash from the public.

Following the board’s action, all holidays will be listed by name on the school calendar, including Columbus Day.

At its May meeting, the board voted to refer to Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Then on June 10 — over loud objections — the board voted to label holidays generically on its one-page calendar. Holidays including Christmas and Veterans Day were just listed as a “Day Off,” with no mention of the holiday name.

Nice little uprising here in Morris County. This didn’t play well with the locals (we’re about 10 minutes from Randolph), but the Leftists will keep pushing this nonsense. Randolph has an all GOP Mayor and Council, fairly conservative by NJ standards, and a sizeable Italian population.

Another PC attempt bites the dust.

Slowly, slowly. One battle at a time.

It is time that people rise up and ruin these school board members lives. Make them pay for their wokeness. Make them examples to others what would do the same time. This is fighting for the soul of our nation. When things get to removing names on the calendar, you can be guaranteed that Marxist indoctrination is SOP.

Hmmn, from now on I’ll refer to MLK day and Juneteenth as Day-Off day to everyone, and see how that goes.

It’s not enough to put back what they stole by attempting to rewrite history. Now they need to be punished. A bank robber would not escape punishment just because they returned the cash when caught.

The day the citizens remove the creeps should be a new town holiday on the calendar.

It’s been a good news day for stories about Americans ‘fighting back’.

Reminds me of a small town in Northern California in 1990. A few months before the Persian Gulf War, a bunch of leftists swarmed a city council meeting and pushed a vote to declare the town a sanctuary for for deserters. Before they could finish their self congratulations, the rest of the town delivered a recall petition for the whole city council signed by more than half the registered voters in the city. The leftists were absolutely dumfounded as they had no idea anyone thought differently than them.
