Friday Freakout

From the war on Christmas to the war on Saint Patrick's Day:

A Massachusetts school principal is renaming "St. Patrick's Day" with "O'Green Day" in an effort to be "inclusive and diverse," while some parents are blasting the decision as "stupid" and illogical.

Lisa Curtin, principal of the Soule Road School in Wilbraham, Mass., decided to change the name to ease discomfort that some students might have in celebrating St. Patrick's Day or Valentine's Day -- which last month was renamed to "Caring and Kindness Day," according to parents with children in the school. 

Stupid and illogical are hardly the words for it. This deliberate obliteration of what is clearly a feast day of the patron saint of Ireland and its replacement with something soft and juvenile is symptomatic of the West's unwillingness to celebrate and stand up for itself.


It's as ugly as these cakes.



I wonder what would O'Brien think.

 I suffered though "Up the Long Ladder" for this?
