In these days of the Biden administration and its assault on American freedoms it is easy for conservatives to see the glass half empty. But in the wake of national victories like the death of HR1 and local victories like this, conservatives should not give up the good fight.

FNC: “A New Jersey school board has walked back its decision to rid holiday names from its school calendar after parents spoke out against the move. The Randolph Township Board of Education in New Jersey held a special meeting on Monday ‘to consider a resolution’ after parents pushed back against the board’s June 10 vote to start listing each holiday, including religious and national holidays such as Thanksgiving and Memorial Day, as a ‘day off’ on the school calendar.”

“The Randolph Board of Education is grateful to the community for its feedback regarding designating school holidays and days off,” the board told press. “After a reconsideration, the school calendar returns to its prior form, adding ALL state and federal holidays.”

The statement continued: “The very essence of education is to learn, to grow and to apply lessons learned. The last few weeks have showcased a concerned community, an interested public and a responsive Board of Education that acknowledged a decision made without proper consideration. In the future, a review committee will seek community input on any proposed calendar changes.”

The contrite school board added that Randolph Township “has a reputation for academic integrity and a strong sense of community,” and it hopes “that those values are once again on display and any past negativity will dissipate” as the board continues its focus on “students and their educational needs.”

School board President Tammy MacKay said, “I would like to begin by apologizing to those in the community who have been upset by the board’s recent decision. I can assure you that I did not intend and I do not believe that any member of this board intended to insult or disrespect the ancestry or heritage of an Italian American or anyone else. I would also like to apologize to those who believe that this board is disrespected or disregarded.” How does that humble pie taste, Tammy?
