But mainly white, middle-class young people, as much aroused by the music as by the damage done to the environment by pollution."Oakes Spaldinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08078500142758654392noreply@blogger.comBlogger2125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373152433565591514.post-22040331772133733872018-04-23T03:16:37.046-07:002018-04-23T03:16:37.046-07:00How about we have 'Heaven Day'? My guess ...How about we have 'Heaven Day'? My guess is such a proposal would cause an uproar with the 'Earth Day' folks. On thing for sure is that Pope Francis would not support it.Michael Dowdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650782589323136700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373152433565591514.post-66325085061242330852018-04-22T09:02:32.299-07:002018-04-22T09:02:32.299-07:00Our local school included the celebration of "...Our local school included the celebration of "Earth Day". In fact, today our children are subjected to an almost daily onslaught of "celebrations" and "days" and causes. Nothing is too small to celebrate in public schools today. What ends up happening is all celebrations are rendered meaningless. Children have so much to cope with, for many of them, even their family is a veritable hot-mess, but the public schools keep em hoppin with this and that to "celebrate", and they trotted this one out too. Our school did not get too "blamey", but I bet some did. It's all madness, but I have been in schools a long time, and there is no doubt this type of thing has magnified and increased exponentially in the last two or three years. Children in all grade levels are relentlessly politicized now. Parents either don't know or don't care. Kathleen1031https://www.blogger.com/profile/10201084623185206141noreply@blogger.com
