A New Jersey school board has scrapped the names of all holidays from its calender to avoid 'hurt feelings' after backlash over renaming Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples Day.
Randolph Board of Education members unanimously voted to remove all holiday names off of the school calendar, including religious holidays such as Yom Kippur and Christmas, at a meeting that drew over 100 people on Thursday.
Instead, all holidays will be designated as simply 'days off,' in schools across the Morris County township, which is about an hour west of New York City, according to a Fox5 NY report.
'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 of the controversial change.
Board members made the decision in an effort to mitigate any potential offense a group or person may feel in regard to holidays that celebrate certain historical figures or ethnic groups, while also maintaining that the board is not responsible for naming the holidays to begin with.
'I don't think really it is the board's responsibility to be naming these holidays. Either take them off or just adopt whatever the federal and state governments are doing,' board member Ronald Conti said prior to Thursday's controversial vote.
The change was not made in haste, however, as the public comment section of the meeting dragged on with dissenters from the crowd.

You would think a school would know there are no indigenous people to the America continents.

The cross between retardation and childishness that is running rampant in our country is absolutely mind boggling

Leftist cucks and fools get elected to school boards. Nationwide we need a movement of normal people to take over school boards.

Honestly, this doesn't bother me too much. I'd much rather they just call them breaks instead of "Indigenous Peoples' Day" or some other such nonsense.

Nobody actually has hurt feelings about this. Even if they do, who the frick cares? These weak, simple minded people need to be put back in their place. Vote these people out

1984 was beyond prophetic ...

This whole idea is why we can't have nice things.
When someone sees someone else celebrating something they should be happy for them instead of mad they aren't celebrating.
Comparison is the thief of happiness.
Be happy for other people.
Don't be a victim. But liberals are just unhappy people.

Crazy part is they thought that making the change initially wouldn't piss people off. This move essentially is them taking their ball and going home.
The left is so pathetic. And the people on the right, that side with them instead of the people who bring up the slippery slope, deserve blame too. No one is worse than the "it doesn't effect me none...so I don't care" cowards.

I just checked my calendar. Monday is the celebration of the Queen's birthday.
I'm offended.

Hurt feelings, who could they be talking about?
Oh, atheist.
Oh, atheist.

Nobody will listen to this twat. I love these authoritarian radicals trying to micromanage our lives and dictate what we can and cannot do. It’s hilarious.
Reminds me of the 4th of July last year in California where they told people not to light fireworks. Helicopter views showed a city wide fireworks display the likes of which I’ve ever seen.
News flash: you try and force people to do something and they will do the opposite
These fricking low IQ blowhards still don’t understand human nature
