I actually think the school board got this right

I actually think the school board got this right
Have to give them credit.....keep all god shit out of schools.

Quote:In response to the Muslim parents’ concerns, the school board voted 7-1 Tuesday to support Superintendent Joshua Starr’s recommendation to stop identifying religious holidays on scheduled days off but simply state schools will be closed on those dates.

The board did not, as Todd Starnes reported for Fox News, “eliminate all religious holidays.”

The school board member who offered the amendment said the measure was “the most equitable option.”

RE: I actually think the school board got this right
It's a small thing, but that only means that it should be super easy just to fix it quickly. Just labeling holdiays as "winter holiday" or something neutral is just easier. The fact that Fux News is flipping out about that is just another demonstration of how far they'll dig into shit to find their "persecution".
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.

I absolutely despise Todd Starnes. He can take any story and wring it like a washcloth to expel all of the truth from it. As soon as I see a link to one of his articles on Facebook, I can know with absolute certainty that I'm about to read something that is entirely false and misconstrued.

Pretty much true for FOX in general.
