Massachusetts Principal Takes Aim at Fall Holidays, Says They're Insensitive

Do you feel that because the bold part is true for you then it must be true for everyone?

 

Funny how standing up for the rights of others is seen as being wussy by the right but by and large when you step up and get in their grills for being asshats they tend to be the first to call for a bouncer, a cop, a minister or their mommies to keep you off of them.

Funny story. When the last round of anti-gay marriage protestors were at the state capital there was an asshat conservative waving around a sign that said, "I hate (*)(*)(*)(*)". A friend of mine who happens to be gay took offense and went over and told him, "Well this (*)(*)(*) hates you (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)".....Mr. Tough guy sign holder Tried to talk tough to my friend who must weigh 170 lbs soaking wet. When my friend asked him to throw down. Mr Tough Guy Conservative suddenly ran for the nearest capital cop.

I see that crap all the time from the Beta Right.

Back when I bounced at the bar in college the worst group of asshats were the "young republicans" who invariably started crap and then ran to a bouncer or a manager after they were called on it. Or better yet would right "newsletters" about how they were "persecuted" for speaking their mind.

Sorry my friend but I calls it like I sees it and again and again its the tough talking conservative that runs for help rather then backing up their rhetoric.

 

one school has said they wont be celebrating holidays in school, and the right goes on a rampage about "banning holidays". the kids can still celebrate those holidays, just not in school. i dont see the need for outrage.

for one thing, its a school administrators job to ensure that the school is providing its purpose, teaching. if the administration feels the policy of school celebrations is interfering with learning, for whatever reason they might give, then its not only their right to change the policy, but their duty.

halloween in school i can see getting rid of. i dont necessarilly agree with ending thanksgiving celebrations, but i wouldnt make a fuss about it either.

maybe they can use the extra time to.... i dont know..... teach kids how to read or do math. lord knows they could use it.

another thing i find interesting, is if this was an article about school budgets being allocated to decorations or presentations/ assemblys for these holidays, these same people would be demanding an end to wasteful spending.

they perceive the left, so they attack.

 

And this has what to do with the fact that this principle is a clueless America hating neo-communist progressive leftist loser? I'll answer for you. Nothing.

 

Of course you do not see the need for outrage. Most progressive leftists have swallowed the cool-aid long ago and are therefore numb to the reality of history and have systemically absorbed the propaganda that they so ignorently believe as reality of lies.

 

is that really all your responding to? no need to respond to the reason i gave? so then...... whats the need for outrage?

 

Just answering a an accusation my "I don't read the posts" friend.

 

I was refocusing the conversation back to the incompetence of leftists.

 

Post #44

You know what amazes me about progressive leftists, they never talk about the wars of displacement that occured between the Native American tribes, they never talk about the valient warriors who stood against the onslught of the American nation, they never talk about the mass murderous sacrifices of the Inca's to there gods, They never talk about the slave trade that was global and involved millions in every corner of the world, except as it pertains to the europeans, they never talk about the untold millions who died at the hands of Marxist communists in Russia and China and southeast asia and central and south America. They only talk about the "atrosities" of the europeans, and of coarse the "atrosities" that leftists would like to commit on real Americans are of no concern, especially as it pertains to the coming police state. Progressive neo-communist leftist losers are stupid as rocks and possess no perspective about the reality of history and the huge legacy of liberty and freedom that Europeans have gifted to its posterity and utterly dismiss the possibilities of liberty abd freedom for the lessor and superficial promises of Marxism.


This is what the truth is, the good, the bad, and the ugly of history. Progessive leftist losers do not have the grounds for attempting to carve out a moral high ground by placing insincere morays of modern construction onto the world of the past who did not examin their motives beyond current needs and where conquest and aquisition of wealth meant survival and status. No people, no country, no political system, no religion, no agenda is beyond the capacity to commit atrosities.

 

I am OK with them just sticking to teaching my kids! I will say this however; if Christmas/Thanksgiving/Halloween are off limits so is every other holiday of every other type.

We will not be penalizing American children and then being "Sensitive" to various immigrant groups; Hispanics, African Americans, Jews or Muslims.

As long as it is fair across the board I have zero issues with them focusing on teaching my children. If however other holidays are allowed then a lot of the knee jerk reactions I have been reading in this thread may not be so "Knee jerk".

 

Progressive neo-communist America hating leftist losers are above all least concerned with "fair".

 

so your opposed to a school administration taking the sensetivities of the students into account when it concerns extracurricular activities, because an unrelated tribe of native americans in central/ south america (comparing native american tribes from the northeast to the incas is like comparing the japanese to people from india) were worse hundreds of years ago? thats the reason your outraged?

lets say they stopped school celebrations of holidays for budgetary reasons. would you support it then?

 

Truth is truth. Why should we fear it. Why should we throw the baby out with the bath water in our traditions and celebrations? Just because you choose to have no clue does not mean that us real Americans should be forced to follow in your hypocracy and ignorence. I have no white guilt because I had nothing to do with any of this, though my ancestors surely did since they arrived here in 1650. Pass the Turkey, and potatoes, and cranberry sauce. If you choose not to have a thanksgiving then thats your fricking leftist loser problem. Not mine. Go Lions!

 

im all for the scenario you suggest. it would save time and money.

 

My sentiments exactly! If the immigrants can't assimilate themselves into our culture and traditions, then they need to go back to where they came from.

Christmas has been chipped away at for a long time now b/c the nativity scene, etc 'offended' some foreigners and the PC little weenies buckled under to them. Many libs could no longer handle our traditional Christmas tree being call what it is, so now it's the Holiday tree.......

Last Easter some loonytoon lib teacher told the little kids they're to call the Easter eggs 'spring spheres' or some stupid crazy name like that......

This principal has absolutely no business working w/kids.....

 

Yup! And if pedophiles are lurking around, they are now to be called "minor attracted" folks b/c 'pedophile' offends them......

 

So what? I don't see what that has to do with this thread. If you want to make a thread and continue crying about how corporations, have at it. This thread is about leftists wanting to keep other people from enjoying these Holidays.

How do you explain what this Principal is doing, then? She is using her power over all of her students and pushing her liberal agenda upon them. It's not enough that she doesn't want Holidays, she wants to make it so that nobody can enjoy them as long as she is around.

 

I was thinking the same thing.



Gee, I wonder if this guy is a conservative?

 

Very well said...... that would be the only way to do it.......

 

Please explain American children would be "penalized"?

 

The left doesn't stand up for the "rights of others". The left panders for votes among certain voting groups. Big difference.

As for your friend, I'd say this is another example of the hypocrisy of leftists. They love freedom of speech, just as long as they agree with it. Otherwise, violence is not off the table.

 

Cinco De Mayo is not an American Holiday?

I wonder how committed she is to her views? does she take the paid holiday or does she go to work ?

you forgot about the over talking and screeching!

 

The Vast Majority of American children celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween etc. I have two boys in school now and they love the holidays as do their class mates. Every holiday they come home with little projects they did for the holiday in art class. The school my oldest son attends tried doing something similar to this last year. Myself and a number of other parents sat down with the principal and said all or nothing. If our Christian holiday is offensive to the Muslim community here we will not have it but nor will they be allowed to have theirs. The principal here even went as far as trying to lecture my son for saying Merry Christmas to his friend and then assigned him detention when my son told him, "I don't understand why this is offensive".
Holidays are a magical time for children of a young age and mine really look forward to them as do their little friends.

The main thrust of this "Sensitivity" we are seeing is backlash from immigrants who are offended by our traditions as they tend to clash. People need to understand what the term immigration means, now I know it does not mean giving up your cultural identity but it also does not mean expecting the country you immigrate into having to giving up theirs to appease you.

The main issue I have with this is on one hand they say Christmas is offensive to one group but at the same it's OK to celebrate Hanukkah and Ramadan.I speak from experience here because the year my sons school tried to annex Christmas talk, celebration even the school Christmas pageant he still allowed for Ramadan and Hanukkah. After all we would not want to offend those people, lets just offend our own citizens instead. Again the parents rose up and said, its not going to work like that, either celebrate them all equally or celebrate none of them.

Sorry for the long winded reply but to sum up your question regarding how American children as being penalized by this type of rule i say this; American culture is every bit as important to us as it is to another culture. The vast majority of our children look forward to these events and to be given detention for saying Merry Christmas to a friend or speaking about Jesus on Easter is wrong. Period.

This is penalizing American Children we have our own set of values and cultural likes and it is unfair to annex our holidays and allow for others.

 

Thank you for your very well reasoned and rational reply.

I feel the school is being a bit extreme; if it were me, I'd pull my kids out of school for the day on Halloween.

Since Thanksgiving and Christmas the schools are normally closed for the holidays, that shouldn't be much of an issue. If the school is favoring one religion over another during the holiday season, then it would be incumbent to take legal action against the school. You do have legal options available to use in a case like that.

 

Yet another fine example of politically correct white guilt!!!!!!! I have said this so many times. Liberalism is a mental disorder and it is destroying the foundations of our country and no one cares!!!
