-Should kids be going to school on MLK Day to make up for earlier days off because of snow?
-As I've often stated before on this forum, I consider myself a political independent. So my approach to this issue is kind of disbelief from the middle.
-Since the only states seemingly doing this are Georgia and the Carolinas, some are assuming the decision is one of political conservatives and closet racists. I can see why people would think that. Me?--I think the decision makers are just plain stupid!
-There are some arguments about restriction of school rules or policies realtive snow days, etc. None of them very persuasive from my perspective.
-But what astounds me is the utter stupidity of such a decision because it should be obvious to any sentient being that such a decision would cuase a political and cultural storm among many communities, certainly among members of school distrcicts where the kids go to school. If I were a black person in those school districts, I believe I would have to view this decision as racist.
