Because my children cannot discuss Christmas, Passover, or Ramadan in school. But they are learning about Kwanzaa in school. If each sect is going to have their holidays, allow them all to at least to be heard. My children don't quite understand why one group can discuss their holiday, but their Christian holiday cannot be discussed. At 13 they are seeing a disparity adults just don't see.

I agree the government and schools should stay out of all that. I just think if any group of people wants to celebrate any kind of holiday, it's fine with me. You see that informally all the time, people celebrating their past whether it's high school reunions, former workers getting together for a party or luncheon. Blacks have a special history in this country, if some of them want to get together, invite others, and commemorate their past every year it's probably a good thing but the government and politically correct shouldn't need to push or promote it.
