Massachusetts Principal Takes Aim at Fall Holidays, Says They're Insensitive

Anne Foley, the principal at Kennedy School in Somerville, Mass., sent an email to teachers warning them about celebrating Thanksgiving, the Boston Herald reported.

"When we were young we might have been able to claim ignorance of the atrocities that Christopher Columbus committed against the indigenous peoples," Kennedy School Principal Anne Foley wrote.

"We can no longer do so. For many of us and our students celebrating this particular person is an insult and a slight to the people he annihilated. On the same lines, we need to be careful around the Thanksgiving Day time as well."

Parents told MyFoxBoston that they felt the principal was overreacting.

God Bless Vespucci land.   :popcorn:




I try to avoid Moonbat-achussets as much as possible.   

How did those filthy Pilgrims manage to feed themselves before they got here and found the Native Americans?  :rotf:

I was wondering how much longer it was going to be, before Thanksgiving was going to be thrown out. Besides with the 1% owning everything what is there to be thankful for anyway?  :-)

Actually, most of them didn't.  The Pilgrims were, in fact, the first experiment in socialism in our country.  And over half of them died as a result.

"For the young men that were able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children, without recompense. The strong, or men of parts, had no more division of food, clothes, etc. then he that was weak and not able to do a quarter the other could; this was thought injustice. The aged and graver men to be ranked and equalized in labor, and food, clothes, etc. with the meaner and younger sort, thought it some indignant and disrespect unto them. And for men’s wives to be commanded to do service for other men, as dressing their meat, washing their clothes, etc. they deemed it a kind of slavery, neither could husbands brook it."


"The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years, and that amongst the Godly and sober men, may well convince of the vanity and conceit of Plato’s and other ancients; -- that the taking away of property, and bringing into a common wealth, would make them happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God. For this community (so far as it was) was found to breed confusion and discontent, and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort."

What's insensitive is the entire State of Massachusetts and its communist "teachers".

Obviously they were just a bunch of bigoted, greedy assholes, they weren't as evolved as the modern day liberal.  :-)

Miss Ms Mrs DUmbass Anne Foley should be required to work all paid holidays without any additional pay. ...well, maybe she can have May Day.

Nice idea!    Imagine if they try to strip these holidays from their union contracts -- sweet hypocrisy.   Love it.  H5.
