So glad I'm able to afford good private schools
People of means will continue to do this while those that want PC bullshite will continue to foster shitty public school systems.
In my city, and I'm sure many others, once great public schools are now violent places where cops are needed and learning is viewed as a weakness. Everyone with kids either moves to the County south or sends their kids to private schools. It's sad. I think there are only a couple of "A" high schools left here.

Valentine's Day is a fricking stupid holiday.
Posted on 2/2/16 at 8:16 am to crap4brain
So are they not celebrating the holiday or are they still getting the time off but not calling it Christmas? I want that principal showing up on Christmas eve and Christmas day to mold some minds.

My kids go to a private school and stuff like this makes me very happy about that

“I have come to the difficult decision to discontinue the celebration of the dominant holidays until we can come to a better understanding of how the dominant view will suppress someone else’s view,” the principal noted.
Dear principal, suppress this.

Minnesota fricked
quote:
Minnesota's record of racial and religious tolerance is, for some, a point of local pride. But it's been checkered, of late, with Minnesotans showing a cruel side in anti-refugee rhetoric against vulnerable Syrians or instances of racism against long-settled Somalis in St. Cloud. In response, some of the most prominent liberals in the state are getting out the megaphone — and the wallet — in an effort to restate the state's values.
A full-page ad in the front section of today's Star Tribune appeals to our vanity, invoking Minnesota pride to inspire readers to fight back against bigots. We're supposed to be a people of "everyday, sleeve-worn courage, goodness and kindness."

Would fap if BHM was abolished. Because well I'm offended by your history just like you are offended by my history, see how that shite works?

That's the result of pockets of novelty-like brown folk being surrounded by the most lily white ideologues known to mankind.

More postmodernism meets white guilt. Progressives are great destroyers of the past and the now, but they have no idea of what to replace it with. Chaos is on the menu, boys. Eat it up.

Not that I think the school should drop any celebrations.

64% of their enrollment is Asian. Looks like the majority of students and their families don't really care for those holidays, or any holidays for that matter, probably. The school is 4% white fyi. I have no problem with this. People can celebrate whatever holidays they want on their own time.

Thanksgiving and Valentines day are American holidays, not religious ones. I could see why they didn't want to celebrate Christmas (separation of church and state, etc), but not the other two
