Glendale Community College (GCC) keeps pace with the constant growth of the West Valley, offering increased breadth and depth of educational opportunity. Each year, more than 40,000 students enroll in dozens of courses and degree and certificate programs at one of three GCC locations, making the College's enrollment the second largest in the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD).

Perhaps the person to investigate should be Velvie Green, Ph.D. President of the college....but then Ms. Green is most likely one of many in Janet Napolitano's vast stable of Socialists.

The Proclamation in question:

WHEREAS it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favour; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a DAY OF PUBLICK THANSGIVING and PRAYER, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:”

NOW THEREFORE, I do recommend and assign THURSDAY, the TWENTY-SIXTH DAY of NOVEMBER next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed;— for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish Constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted;— for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge;— and, in general, for all the great and various favours which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also, that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions;— to enable us all, whether in publick or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us); and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

GIVEN under my hand, at the city of New-York, the third day of October, in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine.

I didn’t realize that there was such a thing as Thanksgiving Day back when George Washington was alive. I know that Lincoln made it a national holiday.

Also, the idiot reporter got the date wrong - it is 1789, not 1798. John Adams wrote the 1798 proclamation.

Should have sent a Che Guerra speech to make these guys happy.

Raul M Grijalva was on the floor of the House of Representatives on March 29, 2007 asking for a National Holiday to celebrate the birthday of Che Guevara.

George Washington’s “Thanksgiving Day Proclamation of 1798.”

In clear conscience I have to say that no employer has a right to his job absent a written contract specifying terms of dismissal, yet this certainly makes the school look both bad and silly.

If he applies for unemployment benefits he will probably win his case.

Within weeks, five MCCCD employees filed harassment charges against Kehowski, claiming his message was "hostile” and "derogatory.”

What has happened to once conservative AZ? The taxpayers of that county no doubt support the community college financially, in part at least. Why will the taxpaying voters of that county put up with the leftists' suppression of anything and everything that doesn't fit in with their own prejudices and biases? The county should cut off funding, fire the chancellor, and suspend classes until the professor is allowed to have the same email privileges as the rest of the faculty.

I have to stop reading this kind of stuff, it make my blood boil. My cardiologist says I can't let my blood pressure get this high if I want to avoid having to take a stronger medication, so I'm moving on to a less aggravating thread.

Bad idea to have an announcement list that lets anyone send messages to everyone. Set up a message board or voluntary mailing lists for non-official announcements.

It’s also a bad idea to send a political message to everyone in the school — and while Washington’s Thanksgiving address arguably isn’t political, a link to Buchanan’s Web site definitely is.

The “hostile environment” charge is crap and termination is way over the top, but the school ought to rethink its policies for the announcement list, possibly giving the prof a stern slap on the wrist.

Why does this firing “boggle the mind”?

The left is intent on re-writing history and will do so by any means deemed necessary.

His mistake was probably linking to Pat Buchanan's website, which is like waiving a red flag in front of a bunch of liberals. I just googled the proclamation and there are plenty of educational and governmental sites with it.

Still, this is an outrage.

Ignorance and rejection of history on this scale is more than deplorable, it’s a sign of the approaching dark age.
