After an outcry at a raucous public meeting over a previous decision to rename Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples Day, the board of education at a New Jersey school district decided to strip all holiday names off of the school calendar.
So holidays like Thanksgiving will not be on the calendar and will simply be called “day off”. Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur were also stripped off the calendar by the move.
“If we don’t have anything on the calendar, we don’t have to have anyone be hurt feelings or anything like that,” board member Dorene Roche said.
The board members made the move in an effort to not offend anyone who feels slighted by days that reference a person, holiday, or ethnic group.
They WON”T remove the Black ones though , they would not DARE !!!!
I am offended by the names of the days of the week, named after demigods and slave owners. Same goes for the month names.
Anyone that is offended by the name of a holiday has serious mental problems
Nicely done. Now the snowflakes will b*tch about this. Hahahahaha
Oh those poor hurt feeling, give me a break. Suck it up buttercup is what I say to this foolishness.
Good now they can go to school 365 days a year and stay off the streets doing crime!
