ok....but even if children go to school, isn't MLK still being recognized on that day?? Is it not still a Holiday? ANd most of the programs, at least here, that commemorate him are done at night. The meaning is still the same. ANd the day is still his. What's really being lost? Free time at home? I mean what's really going on? What are people so up in arms about?
I think I could see this as a valid point if this was consistently being done, but it's just a SNOW DAY!
What's really being "given" up? Everybody can't be pleased all of the time. Any holiday you use, someone's going to cry about it.
