    The south is highly monolithic.

    The only other suggestion I have is that we should commemorate Sherman's march across Georgia with a National Holiday, and celebrate it in song and legend.
    I'm all for a Sherman Day.

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Have you heard any of the black kids complaining about the day off?

    MLK wanted black to be judged by the content of their character rather than skin color. Why do so many blacks think it's justifiable to be judged by skin color when it comes to benefiting from affirmative action programs? If using skin color to determine something was wrong. Seems that only matter when someone is denied but perfectly acceptable when it's used to benefit.

    This is, well, mad. There is a large section of this Republic which sees nothing wrong with the Confederate cause. They'll say it was a cause of freedom, of self-determination, of resistance to tyranny. It was none of those things. It was, simply, a cause to enslave other people. All the rhetoric boils down to that.

    That a black student in the South has to, in any way, pay homage to the Confederacy is as ludicrous as if Germany had a Nazi Memorial Day, and Jewish children were let off of school for it.

    And these memorials are not opportunities for debate and honest discussions. No. Like the Orange marches in Northern Ireland, they're a way for the dominant group to exert its cultural power.

    It's a stupid holiday that celebrates treason, but at least show a little bit of honesty. No schools were closed in Alabama or Georgia. I can't vouch for Mississippi but they probably weren't getting that much of an education anyway. And I'm sure if you polled those state workers, black or white, they would celebrate pretty much anything to get a paid day off.

    And then the indians would also demand a museum on government property. Some of us have had enough of the PC crowd.
