To be inclusive and diverse, you are not able to celebrate anything.
Think about it. Does everybody celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? No. Does everybody celebrate Thanksgiving? No. Does everybody celebrate the 4th fo July? No.
Carried to its logical conclusion, does this mean that we have to bend over backwards to those who don’t celebrate a certain holiday or occasion???
Can I ask the stupid question of who has discomfort about celebrating St. Patrick’s Day? Those who don’t want to go drink green beer that day? Who exactly is offended by this “not really a holiday” called St. Patrick’s Day?
Is this Lisa Curtain upset that it is “St. Patrick’s Day”, and thus named for a saint? Is that her beef? I wonder if she’s liberal. I wonder if she is concerned about “separation of church and state” if anyone says anything about St. Patrick’s Day in her school.........................
In my part of the country, western Wisconsin, there are thousands of people of Norwegian descent. In May they like to celebrate Syttende Mai the date when the Norskies won their independence from Sweden in 1817. In towns that are predominately Norwegian-descended (like Westby,Wisconsin), they have parades and celebrations. I highly doubt anybody of non-Norwegian descent is offended by these events.
