Fox News is reporting that two Georgia County School systems will require students to attend on MLK day to make up for snow days.

I will insert a link when I find it.

Once again and as always we are living in the land of the easily offended. Get over it and go to school. :-X

I would have posted in "Local News", but Fox made it National.
 
Good grief! Yes, those counties ordered up some snow so that they could deliberately disrespect him. /s/
 
How in the world can they say they are disrespecting him? So everyday that we go to work, we are in a sense, disrespecting someone's birthday. Utterly pathetic.
 
What ever happened to both Washington and Lincoln's birtdays being federal holidays? Oh yea, we combined them into one holiday now called President's Day.

I told Daughter Reacher the same thing. She wouldn't remember Washington or Lincoln's birthday. Why should she, them being SO insignificant and all. I recognize and don't make light of MLK, but as I recall they celebrate the entire month so what's the diff?

I would like to think that MLK would be shocked by the little history taught in our schools these days and would rather them be in class and receiving a good education so they could better "over-come" in adulthood.

But that's just me...
 
I'm sure those protesting that schools will be in session on MLK day would not have batted an eye it were Presidents Day instead.
 
I am so offended I can't even respond to this post....oh I just did. ;D
