great. The kids should be allowed to share their religious holidays...Christian, Jewish, Kwanza, Buddhist...etc. That might start a little more tolerance for everyone.
This sounds like a good idea until a Muslim parent sends his kindergartener in with chocolates wrapped in labels that say "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet." Then they can complain that the other parents don't respect the five-year-old's wish to share his faith with his friends.
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.
Ahem, just which religion does Kwanzaa represent or is associated with?
Kwanzaa is not an African holiday.Kwanzaa is a secular seven day holiday beginning on December 26th. This holiday was developed by Dr. Maulana Karenga and is observed by African-Americans. Kwanzaa was first celebrated in 1966.
Many elements of Kwanzaa come from African harvest celebrations. The word Kwanzaa is taken from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza meaning first fruits.
Each day of the Kwanzaa celebration is dedicated to one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa: Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamma (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), Imani (Faith). These words along with mkeka, muhindi, kinara, mishumaa saba, kikombe cha umoja, zawadi, and karamu and many others used in the Kwanzaa celebrations are Swahili words. Interestingly, the word Kwanzaa is not a Swahili word, kwanza is.
