Quote of the Week...

Food for Thought...

Last year I participated in a panel discussion hosted by the Superintendent of Stamford Public Schools, Dr. Tamu Lucero.  She sought to offer a broad perspective on the possible vacation days that the Stamford Schools would observe this year.  With some 72 languages spoken in the Stamford Public Schools, there is a good deal of diversity.  A break for Thanksgiving, time off around Christmas and the New Year, and a February and April break were easy dates to maintain.  When we began talking about “holy” days within religious traditions, the chat area lit up.  Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindu, Sikh, and others wanted to make sure that their holidays were represented in the calendar.  The other date that received a good deal of debate was Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples’ Day.  Among some, Columbus Day (and that is how they referred to the day) was sacrosanct.  Columbus was a veritable saint, or so they believed.
