A few months ago I posted an e-mail from a correspondent in Yonkers, NY, whose daughter’s elementary school was marking Chinese-American History Month with a huge display flattering the Chinese Communist Party.
This same correspondent now tells me an even more harrowing tale.
“Mr Derbyshire—My daughter brought home an announcement today that the school will be celebrating a special event on Thursday, March 17: Green Day.
“It’s the first week of Lent for us Orthodox Christians, but I sincerely hope some crazy Irishman ‘gets his Irish up’ about St Patrick being slighted like this.”
It makes sense, I guess. The notion of “sainthood” is not only un-Constitutionally religious, but shamefully elitist. I mean, the whole point of saints is that they are much better than the rest of us.
So it looks as though the Yonkers school district is bent on doing to saints what St. Patrick did to the snakes of Ireland….
