Critics are hiding their true colors
A Massachusetts elementary school principle at Soule Road School recently renamed St. Pat’s Day “O’Green Day,” to ease the discomfort some students might have. Let’s take the progression further to a predictable pattern of renaming: Christmas as Whitefrost Day; Easter as Yellowegg Day; Thanksgiving as Browngravy Day; Valentine’s as Redheart Day — although it may be acceptable to leave Black Friday and Blue Monday alone.
These holidays have been long been celebrated by Christians and non-Christians. Core beginnings of our country were established on Christian principles and the virtues of faith, hope and charity. These celebrations embody these virtues. Purveyors attempting to wash out our heritage are keenly covered by a cloak of sensivity and fairness, but in truth they are a precursor of the socialist state, with many having an eye on the progression of communism.
Our country is far and wide a blend of many cultures and their respective days of celebration: they give us identity, they have a name, they are not just a color! I urge you to not fall prey to letting this happen in your community, lest you embrace the bleakness of living an endless day and can color that one gray.
