I have never met, nor known of anyone who celebrates Kwanzaa.

re: “I have never met, nor known of anyone who celebrates Kwanzaa.”

During all my years of teaching, I’ve only had two students ask me about why I never mention Kwanzaa - both were white kids. I just pretended I didn’t hear them and went on with the lesson and they forgot about it.

I think it is dying a natural death of irrelvancy. I have always had several black kids in my classes over the years and I’ve never heard them mention Kwanzaa or celebrating it themselves - ever.

I did have one fellow faculty member ask me what kinds of things I did to teach my students about Kwanzaa. I told her I didn’t do anything about it. I said my reasons have to do with its “founder”. Of course she didn’t know what I was talking about, so I asked her if I could give her a file about Kwanzaa. I told her that if after reading it and researching it that she still wanted me to do something on Kwanzaa to talk to me about it and I would discuss it with her.

She read the file and never talked with me about it again.

We had an actual CHRISTMAS show for our school.PC police thought it wise to honor our only “African-American” student with some goofy Kwanza song along with holiday favorites.My daughter later told me that his family celebrates Christmas and does not know what Kwanza is.

You mean you've never been visited by the Kwanza-bot? Each Kwanza,
he hands out copies of a book entitled "What the Hell is Kwanza?"

Me neither.
