At a Randolph Board of Education meeting on Thursday, board members voted to remove all holiday names off of the school calendar The move came amidst backlash over changing Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day from the 100-plus people who attended the meeting Instead, all holidays will be designated as simply 'days off,' according to Fox5 NY The idea behind the holiday name change stems from an effort to avoid 'hurt feelings' over holidays that target specific people or groups 'What did you just do? What just happened?' one man exclaimed incredulously as the board made a unanimous vote

Society has done a lot already to make the holiday celebration about Black Friday rather than Thanksgiving. This transition started a few years ago in schools with the break being called “fall break” rather than Thanksgiving break. I have always thought that Thanksgiving is a fairly neutral holiday. It’s not specified to whom you should offer thanks or if you even need to offer thanks or if you should just feel thankful for something.

LOL!

Consumer Day is my favorite time of year.

We put out the money tree, which my parents always told me doesn’t live in our backyard; then we drink hot chocolate and go around in groups singing Pink Floyd’s “Money.”

People are always happy to see us. :)

Make everything meaningless so you can take over a country easier.

Please, God, can we make Google, etc., STOP populating our calendars with Juneteenth, First Day of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, First Day of Hispanic Heritage Month, Indigenous Peoples’ Day (poor grammar), First Day of American Indian Heritage Month, Native American Heritage Day, First Day of Black history Month, First Day of Women’s History Month, First Day of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month?

It’s impossible (as far as I know) to delete this CRAP from the calendar.

This year I say we boycott consumer Day on black Friday and stay home with family. Then we’ll all say” we were scared of the Wuhan flu”.
I did this on election day and they lost their minds, did it again with the vaccine. I told them I didn’t want it because of Trump! Orange Man bad! I use their propaganda against 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.

Seems like the NE has become a the bastion of Anti-Americanism.

If you consider the migration of who is moving there (Illegal Aliens, Puerto Rican haters, Muslims, and libtards) this probably shouldn’t surprise anybody.
