My dinky little Broward library had a Jewish history exhibit that month
Ok, I'm Jewish. But really, this is ridiculous.
We don't need to give every group their own damn month. There are only 12 months anyways.
I think most Americans realize how much Jewish Americans have given to the country. There is no need for an official month that will bore schoolchildren and become a laughingstock for everyone else.
PC might be on its way out, but its still going too damn strong for my comfort.
Let's see...Jewish heritage month, Italian heritage month, black history month, German heritge month, Russian heritage month, Islamic terrorist month and on ....and on. Give me a break already!!!
Let's see: Jewish, Italian, Irish, German, Mexican, Scots-Irish, English, Chinese, Japanese, etc. We're gonna run out of months, without even hitting Male history, sexual orientation history, species history, and God knows what else. when does this crap stop? It's bad enough having to sit through Black History month, and Women's history month. Why not AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH??- EVERY MONTH!
