From The St. Pete Times: Let's not be childish on school holidays - St. Petersburg Times

Let's not be childish on school holidays - St. Petersburg Times


Amazing. I don't make this stuff up. It is there for all to see.


In today's Times:

"The fracas began years back with tentative talk of days off for other religions (yes, there are others), like a Muslim holiday. But when the School Board moved to sensibly make days off "academic" and not religious, a couple of then-county commissioners went on the conservative TV show The O'Reilly Factor for a national gnashing of teeth. (Bet you could name those commissioners if you tried.)"



I just wrote this yesterday:

Blogger: PRO on HCPS - Post a Comment:


"Two of the three were given the Moral Courage Award by Hillsborough County. This is an interesting point because there seems to be a lack of public entity to public entity respect."


This is the point that I laugh when I think about how many meetings I have been to in the last 25 years where a District person says that the District is for "all of the kid's". I think there is a veiled message in that statement. The word "all" is such a double edged sword, especially when you are not in the "all" that is getting what they want.
