The kids should be allowed to share their religious holidays...Kwanza,

That's not a religious holiday.

It's communist proaganda and never even pretends to be religious. The sex deviate criminal who started it never claimed it was religious.

I stand corrected. You are right. Forgot about the Kwanza creation scenario.

So bring in Kwanza and let the kids talk about that too, why its not a religion, etc.

The enormous gap in our government educational system combined with student "game-boy" mind numbing apathy and parental abdication of their responsibility to have "homework time" or family discussions leaves me cynical of the students even getting anything out of "sharing" holiday differences.

Bring back Flashcards for math!!

They already "celebrate" Kwanza. My first-grader in Frisco ISD, neighboring Plano, was told to make some symbol related to Kwanza in class. The teacher told them it was an ancient Southern African custom to celebrate the harvest. Needless to say, we raised a stink and he was excused from having to do it.
