Every year, I try to encourage parents to have copies of the original proclamation of the Thanksgiving Day Holiday by George Washington, distributed in local public schools, on the day before the holiday. The link Thanksgiving Project, will take you to the Proclamation and a description and explanation of the proposed project.
I recognize that in most large cities, with a known ACLU presence, few school personnel are going to rush out and embrace this. But perhaps in some of the small towns, it could become an annual occurence. Only positive things would result.
