Do you see what you get Democrats and bleeding hearts that think that everybody’s feelings need to be taken into consideration? You get ham handed nonsense like the canceling of CHRISTMAS AND HALLOWEEN in schools because administrators don’t know how to react to the smallest controversy. They’re damned if they do and they’re damned if they don’t.
Almost a month before Halloween, some Oak Lawn homes are already decorated with pumpkins, ghosts and goblins. But rumors that Ridgefield School District 122 may soon ban in-school Halloween and Christmas have infuriated many parents and area residents.
Those heartless bastards… but wait there’s more.
The district has a 30 percent Arab-American population, many of whom practice Islam. The superintendent says the reason for the change in tradition comes after one parent wanted Ramadan decorations put up inside Columbus Manor Elementary. They were taken down.
Whoops, can’t have one without the other now can we? Can’t have a minority oppressed by not allowing them to have their decorations up. I grew up in New York, during Halloween my school was plastered in black cats, ghosts and pumpkins… we had plenty of minorities and nobody complained, not even the wacky Christians who thought it was akin to satan worship. During Christmas the school was decorated with wreaths, trees, presents, you name it… a tacky spectacle it was. In a corner on a bulletin board you might see a lone menorah haphazardly taped alongside a sea of red, white and green. Nevermind that most of the teachers that had us cutting out the trees and the other decorations were mostly jewish. They seemed alright with it, I mean having what amounted to every jewish holiday off was probably a decent trade, and believe me, I didn’t mind.
Woe are we! Hark, there seems to be at least one person that is not consumed by the delirium stirred by liberals (funny that their party is suffering a huge backlash over this).
Other parents say the controversy is overshadowing what really needs to be addressed at all five schools in the district.
Ronnie Carroll said, “The fact that they are cash strapped. Our classroom size is way above the average mean, 38 children in our first grade classroom. The concern should be our school, not the whole holiday issues.”
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Somebody that gets it. Somebody that ACTUALLY GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THE KIDS. This, “I gots to gets mines” mentality from parents surrounding decorations is ridiculous. There are major issues affecting public schools, but no, these people are all consumed in the stupidity of decorations. This is why I loath political correctness. It mires us in a sea of self righteous garbage that only seeks to further divide America into subcultures and accentuates difference. What happened to the melting pot?
So, I give you a new category, dedicated to the idiocy that is “political correctness”… and I shall endeavor to point out every stupid controversy born of it.
