Is it as low as the stupidity of covering all of the urinals with trash bags in the name of "gender equity", like that one school did? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 When might we see a Chinese History Month, or an Irish History Month? Both looked down upon as second class citizens. But for the Chinese would we have our Railroads? And “Irish need not apply” signs. To quote Morgan Freeman, “Black History is American History”, as is Chinese and the Irish. But since many Americans seemed to have gone crazy lately why not the black community. Btw, I have no idea what’s going on in Alabama. The walkout may be justified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one time those kids wouldn't have all been at the same school. That said, there was nothing in that report but a bunch of "they were told". I guess there was nothing in writing? The district's response was pretty lame, so it seems like it was true. Seems like an asinine thing for a district to do. As much as most of us want the country not to erase history, taking those things out of a history program is dumb, be it "black" history or any other history. I would like to know the full run down. Was this one employee who told them this? The principal? Superintendent? Could be a case of a small number of people made the whole district look like jackwagons.

In today’s news, often there is more of the reporters opinions than facts. Who do you trust? If any of you find that out, please let me know.

Hagar Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) I’d like to know how many Americans are 100% of a foreign nationality. Blacks with white blood. Whites with black blood. Irish with a Jewish grandmother. In the scheme of things, very few (which makes reparations absurd). Thus all this different nationality months is absurd. We’re all Americans. Get over it.

On May 1, 2009, President Barack Obama signed Proclamation 8369, recognizing the month of May as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.[1][27] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnjoyLife Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 If this is accurate...I do not see how you can have a program about the history of black Americans without allowing it to include slavery, Jim Crow, the civil rights movement, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
