Do people still regularly get Columbus Day off work? We no longer get that or President's Day on the school level, but we get MLK Jr's Birthday.

Two weeks off for Christmas and you're bitching about MLK day?

Seems like you just don't care for black people.

You're bitching about getting the day off for MLK but not for Columbus Day.

And you're bitching about black history month while working at a predominantly black school. You seem pretty bitter about it.

No I'm not. He was talking about the single federal holidays. I pointed out what we do and don't get off that's "federal".

Sorry your racist baiting arse turns everything into race.

Precisely. Because it should be integrated into curriculum throughout the year like everything else. Only person that seems bitter is you. As usual.

Yeah it's weird to be talking about race in a thread about black history month.

You mean it's weird that you take something not about race (federal holidays) and turn it into race to fit your agenda?

Actually it's not. You do it all the time.

Working in education? I think it's inconvenient to waste a whole month on black history when teachers...


I wasn't aware anybody did this. If so, that's a whole different thing. I'd think I'd know about it having all 3 kids graduate from a majority black school in the last 12 years. But then... nobody in my family tells me a damn thing.

I know dirt younger than me, and I hunted dinosaurs in my youth. But I didn't know Black History Month occupied one moment of my children's education. If true, they'd probably have been better served with more of God's language: Math.

I don't give a crap about almost any holidays or anything designated by the govt as "special" days.

They are days, weeks, months, etc. Spare me the "shared experience".

I find that having BHM is racist.

Why should we keep the blacks month separated from the other months? HMMMM


I place it just below Chinese history month, Italian history month, Irish history month, German history month, Arab history month, Mexican history month, Cuban history month, British history month, Scottish history month, Slavic history month, Scandinavian, Canadian history month and .... oh - errrrr - wait ....
