New Jersey school board removes holiday names from academic calendar

[Candor]

The school board of Randolph Township has called for a special meeting June 21st to consider a resolution to restore holiday names to the academic calendar.

Amazing how a large public outcry can influence those holding elected offices .

And the previous vote was rescinded - holidays are back on the academic calendar.

Glad there is still some sanity in the world. Or a bunch of people who wanted to ensure they get reelected.

That's not sanity. That's still stupidity... they just got caught and were forced to change it back or face not getting reelected.

Except that many transgender people want to change the sex on their birth certificates. Gender is all they want to recognize. Biology be dammed.

And remember, it's called a "birth certificate" (emphasis on "birth").

Yeah, I agree, their birth certificate should not be changed to reflect on how they identify themselves as.
