New York public school students would be best served if every day was a school holiday.

let us not overlook the very real possibility of there also being a Michelle Obama Day.....just to keep the peace in the west wing of the Whitehouse!!

De Blasio is such an arrogant puke he might name a holiday for Himself...

I can just see the future:

due to the overwhelmingly positive response to my new Holiday.... Bill De Blasio Day...Ive decided to name November Bill De Blasio Month!!

As conservatives, we don't believe in welfare, we believe in competition.

So why ask for welfare for your culture? We may not likes Muslims culture, but they believe in it. Christians, Jews, U.S. citizens don't believe in their culture, and don't care to perpetuate it with children. How is welfare for Christians, Jews, U.S. going to save them?

(I should not Muslim birth rate has declined sharply. But it's still enough higher than U.S. and Mexicans. But Muslims actually believe in their culture.)

"Muslims actually believe in their culture."

It's not a culture, it's a seditious lack of Culture.

the muslims have not allowed outside influences to demoralize them...if that can be said

so many childless couple cite worsening social conditions for their choice not to have children....,while playing directly into those conditions.

look whats happening in France...per populations.

I doubt social conditions are better for Muslims. I doubt calls for cultural welfare will work. Either U.S. citizens will believe in their culture or they won’t.

The first Earth-Day in 1970 was a celebration of Lenin’s 100th birthday.

Have children.

Have lots and lots of children, and bring them up right.

Don’t let America be bred out of existence.

This is why it is time to get government out of education. When parents get to choose the school they want for their kids, these ridiculous arguments over control will end.
