    Well that's just plain fucking stupid. You can honor the day but making everyone don muslim garb is just fucking ridiculous. Political correctness is fine but I think we have taken it to a pathetic extreme.

    You'll probably find out this is a case of the press talking bollocks.

    I would hope so because if it is true there is a school administrator who needs a slap across the back of the head.

    I can't open the link at work for some reason, but I can only imagine....

    Wouldn't that be insulting to muslims to have non-muslim people dress up and pretend to be muslim?

    I would be more than insulting. It would probably justify a series of beheadings somewhere....

    i would think so. i have a feeling the muslims would feel pretty uncomfortable dressing up christian nuns for a day. that's one bizarre way to promote diversity.

    just because it's a joke doesn't make it funny. not that i think you're an idiot, or that I took offense to it or anything. I just think that if it was a joke it wasn't funny, and if it was serious, well then...

    PC is just stupid. The lengths some folks will go to supposedly not offend someone

    For example, the "Festival of Lights" at the Cincinnati Zoo. They used to have a living nativity scene with live animals, and the whole place used to be a really nice place to go to celebrate Christmas. But they started getting more and more politically correct each year, and last year it was just over the top. They did away with the nativity scene, and eliminated any reference whatsoever to Christmas for the entire event. They advertised "holiday characters singing holiday songs in their holiday village"....you get the idea, it was just ridiculous. Finally, they did away with the Christmas Tree and replacing it with the "International Tree."

    WTF is an "International Tree"?

    For the record, someone saying "Happy Holidays" to me is not offensive, and anyone offended by "Happy Holidays" is a dolt just looking to be offended. But making teachers dress as Muslims, just like the "International Tree," is just idiotic attempts to not offend.

    What's the moral of this tale?
    ...
    Kiddies... we're talking about a school with 257 students and a staff of 39!!! It doesn't even say WHERE this school is... because the fucking place is probably too small to put on a fucking MAP!!! This hardly constitutes an overwhelming was. This is part of the Fear Machine to make you think 'They' are taking over. They're not.
    ...
    So... the moral? The moral of the story is... the Internet makes it a lot easier for some idiot to scrape the bottom of the garbage heap and present it as if it were in the mainstream.
