+265 The whole purpose of MLK day is to HONOR him whether you're at Church, school, home or anywhere else. So, why is it a big problem to have a "make-up day" (for school) on his memorial day? if you really think about it, he probably wouldn't have a problem with us going to school on his Birthday, amirite?

He might even PREFER us being at school, especially if more than one race is together there. His dream, of African American and Caucasian children together, in action. Much better than being separated by being at home, by ourselves.

....I'd rather honor him at home. Why can't you just enjoy a day off?

I know this is off topic, but I totally read that as 'MILK day' and was confused for a moment... Just sharing

Why would you complain about having a day off from school?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

OP isn't complaining about having the day off. There are some school systems around where I live that are using the day as a make up day because of snow days and a lot of people are complaining that the kids are having to go to school on MLK day.

My school did the whole day off thing but not for MLK for report/record day. I was angry.
