Dear God. I bet her students did that instead of learning about school subjects.

The facet of Black History Month that I don't like is the emphasis on civil rights "heroes." Everyone already knows the major ones.
What about inventors? Military heroes? Musicians? Carnegie Medal winners?
Example: Milton L. Olive
Private First Class Olive received a posthumous Medal of Honor in 1966 for his conspicuous gallantry, intrepitude, and sacrifice in Vietnam. On Oct. 22, 1965, Milton L. Olive III, just 18 years old, smothered a grenade, saved the lives of his platoon mates, and sacrificed his life. Olive became the first black soldier to be awarded the Medal of Honor for actions during the Vietnam War.

I'm going to abandon my son, and start cashing my checks rather than depositing them.

I get a chuckle out of the subtle troll we did by giving them the shortest month of the year

Bring my BBQ to the front yard and cook out over the weekend.

I agree, Black History Month is total trash

I'll watch a lot of basketball, but to be clear, I would be watching a lot of basketball, especially college bb whether it was black history month or Arabian history month.
