In this time of "multiculturalism and diversity," you'd think a school would be more supportive of people celebrating Christmas.  Oh, wait... that's right... "multiculturalism and diversity" really means attacking the foundation of Western countries.  I'll bet you're not really surprised by the fact the person behind all this has "berg" in their lastname!  See the Jew...

School Board Defends Bumping Christmas Concert

Mary Ellen Schellenberg said she wonders why the concert can't be more inclusive but continue to be held in December.  Mary Ellen Schellenberg said she wonders why the concert can't be more inclusive but continue to be held in December.

An Ottawa-area school's decision to move a traditional concert in December to February and take the emphasis off Christmas isn't sitting well with some of the parents.

Cambridge Public School in Embrun, Ont., made the decision to push the concert to February and make it more inclusive, so some students who do not celebrate Christmas would not be left out of the concert.

Parent Mary Ellen Schellenberg has three children at the school and said she was shocked to learn the concert wouldn't be happening and contacted the principal of the school.

"I just said that I didn't think that it was right to take that promise [of a concert] from the children.  It is important to families," she said.

Schellenberg, who attended the school when she was young, said the Christmas concert at the public school was always less about the Christian Christmas and more about the secular elements of the holiday.

Schellenberg also said last year's concert had Hanukkuh songs and marked Chinese New Year.

"I am happy with this concert in February and I don't want to come across that I'm not," she said.  "I just think that this concert is a tradition at that school and has been for a long time.  And I don't think our children should have to give it up."

Upper Canada District School Board spokesperson Terry Simzer said in a statement Friday that while the concert is moving to February, there will be a number of activities planned at the school, including "the Christmas tree decorating contest, a family craft evening complete with a drumming session and carol sing-along.

"And once again, students will visit a local seniors' residence to sing carols," said Simzer.

"The only change is that the annual school concert has been postponed to February to ensure that all students have the opportunity to prepare for and participate in that presentation.  This decision supports inclusivity...it demonstrates respect for all cultures," said Simzer.





Outrageous!  More proof that non-White third-worlders are not compatible with Western civilization.  Imagine the outrage from the Jews at the ACLU if these same Muslims were not permitted to worship Allah!  Again, note how "multiculturalism" is only one way...

One Fewer Stop for Santa This Year: He's Banned from Head Start Classes in St. Peter

December 16, 2011 - From: minnpost.com

By Joe Kimball

Santa Claus, as portrayed by Dennis Jackson, won't be visiting students at the Head Start classes in St. Peter this year.

Jackson has made appearances the past four years at the classes for students who need help preparing for school, but this year officials said, "No, no, no."

The reason: The classes have many immigrant children who don't celebrate Christmas, says the Mankato Free Press.

Santa's a little frosted, the paper says.

"It kind of burnt me up," he said.

The official explanation from Chris Marben, who coordinates regional Head Start programs through Mankato-based Minnesota Valley Action Council: "We have Somali families in the program.  We're respecting the wishes of families in the program."

She didn't say how many objections were made, but said more than one would be enough to cancel Santa.

"The simple truth is that southern Minnesota has become a much more culturally diverse society than it was a few decades ago," she told the paper.  "Part of our challenge in Head Start is providing an environment where young children from many different cultures can all feel comfortable."

Jackson said rather than depriving the rest of the group of the Santa experience, parents who object should take their kids out of the class during the half hour he spends talking to the kids and giving them candy.
















Why is it so bad asking hard-working White people to show an ID before voting?  Oh, wait...  It's "those" kinds of minorities.  Funny, this affirmative action nigger has no problems with White people being harrassed or molested during airport security screenings, but as soon as you ask some lazy non-White to show an ID to vote - he goes crazy!  Note that rape, murder, and burglary laws also "hurt" minorities...

Eric Holder: Voter I.D. Laws Hurt Minorities

December 13, 2011 - From: politico.com

By Josh Gerstein

Under increasing pressure from civil rights groups to take action against a wave of state voter identification laws, Attorney General Eric Holder issued a public warning Tuesday that the new laws could disenfranchise minority voters, but he stopped short of promising the broad legal crackdown many activists are seeking.

"It is time to ask: What kind of nation and what kind of people do we want to be? Are we willing to allow this era -- our era -- to be remembered as the age when our nation's proud tradition of expanding the franchise ended?" Holder said in a speech at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum in Austin, Texas.

This year, eight states have passed laws that require voters to show identification at the polls.  Two of those states, South Carolina and Texas, need so-called pre-clearance from the Justice Department or a court, which has not yet been granted.  Some states are also rolling back early voting options and adding new registration procedures, while others are imposing rules that could make it more difficult for college students and the elderly to vote.

Critics complain that the measures will have a disproportionate impact on minorities and the poor and are aimed at suppressing turnout of voters who tend to support Democrats.  Supporters generally cite a need to fight fraud, though some have on occasion admitted seeking to discourage voting by specific groups, such as students.

Holder suggested that the new voter ID laws are unnecessary but was vague about what action the Justice Department plans to take against them, particularly in those states free to craft election procedures without the prior approval from the DOJ or the courts required by the Voting Rights Act.  Under Section 5 of that law, most parts of nine states and a smattering of other counties and towns with a history of election-related discrimination must apply to the Justice Department or a court for permission to change voting procedures.

"Since January, more than a dozen states have advanced new voting measures.  Some of these new laws are currently under review by the Justice Department, based on our obligations under the Voting Right Act," Holder said.  "Although I cannot go into detail about the ongoing review of these and other state law changes, I can assure you that it will be thorough -- and fair.  We will examine the facts and we will apply the law."

Holder's message seemed as much a public exhortation to fight voter ID laws as a vow that the Justice Department would take action to block them.


"Speak out.  Raise awareness about what's at stake," Holder said.  "Call on our political parties to resist the temptation to suppress certain votes in the hope of attaining electoral success and, instead, encourage and work with the parties to achieve this success by appealing to more voters.  And urge policymakers at every level to re-evaluate our election systems -- and to reform them in ways that encourage, not limit, participation."

In his remarks, Holder addressed the question of voter fraud that has been cited repeatedly by advocates of the new state laws such as Republican state Sen. Troy Fraser, a sponsor of Texas's voter ID law, who said at the time the bill was passed: "Voter impersonation is a serious crime, but without a photo ID requirement, we can never have confidence in our system of voting."

Holder said he prosecuted voter fraud cases earlier in his career but that "in-person voting fraud is uncommon."

"We must be honest about this," he said.

Holder's speech followed a private meeting he held recently where civil rights leaders expressed a growing impatience with the Justice Department's failure to act against the new laws, especially those in states that don't require prior clearance from the department or the courts, according to sources who participated in the sessions.

"We were very concerned about the lack of enforcement from the Department of Justice," said Barbara Arnwine of The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.  "We have expected more from them in terms of voting rights. ... We reviewed how many cases civil rights groups were bringing versus the number of cases brought by DOJ."

Asked about the message delivered to the attorney general, Arnwine said: "It was that they were not doing enough. ... We said that this was his watch."



How things used to be.
