This is why I tell them to ask the question. Is this where you draw the line?
Why here? You don't want folks learning about why folks celebrate this day? Why? Seriously. I'd love to know why you don't want people to understand why folks have been celebrating this since June 19, 1865 (2 months after the war ended these folks found out that they had been freed in April)?
Exactly why do you think this is a step in the wrong direction?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

I just don’t understand why people who used to respect facts now embrace foreign concocted lies over verifiable facts
The only explanation is an evil political cult
Very very sad
So, you personally celebrate Christmas... do you think it is important that folks learn about it? I don't. But I don't object to it being a holiday. I couldn't care less about your sky daddy... but I don't think we should stop celebrating things I personally don't give a rip about. To me it is a food holiday, and a way to learn about the culture of other folks.
Each and every holiday is like this, every single one of them were made up by some folks to celebrate an event they believe is important.
You need to explain to me why everyone should just stop celebrating stuff you don't think is important just because it is "made up"... If we stopped celebrating made up holidays, we'd stop celebrating any.

And you political cult racists just claim such things are fake news
You are joining Putin to try and rewrite the history of the insurrections that the entire world watched live
Lying straight into the facts everyone witnessed
Anyone who buys the rewrite is brain dead and or evil
Just think how much all the people getting paid to not work will cost us. And all the paperwork and shit they will have to change. And then just think about all the entitled fucked up black losers that will kill even more fucked up black losers.
No no no you were asked to explain why a holiday is necessary for this. Please don't become like one of the thousand retarded leftists on this site and not follow through. I will address your question but it's rather fucking rude to ignore the one that was posed to you first.
BTW do I celebrate Christmas or do you just assume that I do because I disagree with you? I think I know the answer
