Here’s wondering if the Orcas Island Sxhool Disrict will be putting the same effort into celebrating the King Holiday with a tutorial on the costs of militarism to our society as they did in celebration of the forces of death and disability (Veteran’s Day)
If not. why not?
Leif, thank you for that
I wonder if oisd wi;; put as much effort into celebrating Dr King -= perhaps with a tutorial on the costs of militarism and imperialism to our nation – as they did in celebrating the forces of death and degradation (Veteran’s Day).
If not, why not?
