I still don't see where Chris Columbus has anything to do with Thanksgiving or Halloween. Yes, Old Chris wasn't near as nice as we were led to believe in school. He brutalized the native people of the Americas as did countless other Spaniards who followed him.  But while the teacher might have a valid beef with Columbus Day, any connection with Halloween and Thanksgiving are lost to me.

Dear Principal,

I am appalled at your current state of mind, or the lack of one, of your judgment to get rid of fall holidays. If you are going to play that card, be sure you have the full deck:

Christmas is a pagan ritual that should also be banned. As is Hanukkah and Kwanza which a little history digging can show you their roots and pagan adaptations.

New Year's Day should have kids attending school. It's a new year based upon a foolish belief that a new year is sacred. Since you do not see anything even having a small amount of being sacred, this should no longer be a holiday.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day - I am appalled that kid's have a day off for a man who was a womanizer and cheater. Let's just ignore that little fact that he stood for equal rights. You had no problem attacking Columbus.

President's Day - This should be gone as well. The only ones that are celebrated are Washington and Lincoln. If you do some research in Lincoln's background and what he had planned before he was assassinated, there wouldn't be a lot of black people in the U.S. today.

Valentine's Day - a combination promotion of religion and obesity-filling candy. Isn't that what is being bitched about in schools these days (P.S. I want my fucking Gertrude Hawk back. Some of these schools dropped them because of the obesity outcry and tried other fundraisers. The results were poorer schools because few people were buying and kids still turning into fatasses).

Easter - pagan holiday raped with religion affiliation. Get rid of it.

St. Patrick's day is also unkind to atheists and those who are snake lovers.

You want major? Get rid of summer vacation. Summer vacation was used for the time off where kids could tend to family farms. Since the majority of kids do not do such labors, I am offended by these lazy kids.

In short, stop being a douche that falls into the political correctness fallacy that is raping the identity of this world. You can't make the world a perfect place. In fact, you are helping to take out any importance, deep meaning, and shock value of events, conditions, and the like. This will make the world a boring place where people won't give a flying fuck over anything that has some significant value or played a role in our lives. People like you want children to be shut into bubbles to be protected from the real world and the truth, too afraid that these kids may make decisions on their own that may disrupt your educational (and I use that term loosely) agenda. You are so worried about intolerance, that you are allowing these kids to suffocate in their bubble and to be turned into mindless drones...which you have no problem tolerating until someone bitches and moans about some sort of intolerance that political correctness has missed.

Signed,




Love... this
