Does anyone think it is wrong that schools are using Good Friday as a snow day makeup and MLK day was not? Before anyone makes this conversation a race discussion, I am married to a woman of color. I want to know people's thoughts on the change of focus in the values in our country. One man died for all man's sins and the other was a great civil rights leader. Thoughts?

I read the first 2 sentences and stopped at "one died for our sins". A bit presumptuous perhaps? There's a few billion people in this world who would find that statement completely wrong (including every Jew and Muslim and Atheist currently serving). I would also suggest that MLK died for our sins as a country, if we're going to bring that into the discussion.

CW2 Walker - that was kind of my point. The idea of "dying for our sins" can be interpreted in a lot of ways. Hell, I could (and others have) make the case that the hundreds of thousands who died during the civil war died for that same sin that MLK died for. Not outlawing slavery in the original constitution I see as the "original sin" for us as a nation.

While I can see the grounds for a race verses religion argument from the original post and agree that the OP may have been trolling, but let's be logical by virtue of the title of snow day makeup it needs to happen after the snow and MLK day here in Wisconsin usually involves the white stuff on the ground. Some years it even snows on MLK. So the first federal holiday that a snow make up day would be feasible would be Memorial Day.
