Anti-American socialist foolishly violates First Amendment guarantees, inviting legal action.
SOMERVILLE. Massachusetts - October 18, 2011 - An elementary school principal has caused outrage by banning Halloween, Thanksgiving and Columbus Day, saying they are insensitive. Anne Foley, the principal at Kennedy School in Somerville, Massachusetts, sent an email to teachers warning them about celebrating Thanksgiving.
She wrote, “When we were young we might have been able to claim ignorance of the atrocities that Christopher Columbus committed against the indigenous peoples. 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.”
She had already told staff not to let the children dress up for Halloween. Several parents thought that the principal was overreacting in her decision.
One said, “I don’t think they should be (stopped from) celebrat(ing) these holidays. This country was formed with the idea that this is a free country, and they should be able to celebrate these holidays.'
Somerville Mayor Joe Curtatone, who has three children at Kennedy, also had an opinion about the principal's decision.
He said, “I’m the son of Italian immigrants, so I take Columbus Day very near and dear, and I’m proud that he discovered America and that America’s named after another Italian. If we ignore and we don’t want to talk about it, if we want to stifle debate, then we’re ignoring history.”
Call and let your VOICE be heard. Bombard this piece of trash socialist with tales of how the socialist education system in the United States, which is modeled directly after the education systems in Russia and China, has destroyed the minds of millions of people who might have made the world a better place had they not been subjected to socialist indoctrination. Tell her such socialist teachings SHOULD BE BANNED because they are insensitive to those who believe in personal liberty and American freedom!
