[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much outrage against this.  You'd think the petition was for something actually harmful or outlandish.

Yet you love to brag to others how you're kids have friends from all over the world in their schools. How you love the diversity, the exposure to other languages and food.

But actually recognizing anything beyond what benefits you is just plain crazy talk?

If you love living in a diverse area but don't want to recognize anything beyond the superficial perks that you benefit from or like, what does that actually say about you?
About the community as a whole towards minorities?

You're assuming that the people who agitate against recognizing the religious holidays of "minorities" (through recognizing the religious holidays of "majorities" is evidently ok) also brag about the diversity of Montgomery County. I don't think that this assumption is correct. I think that many, if not most, of these people wish that it were still 1975 in Montgomery County.[/quote]
