How true,

Schools here use to have Halloween parties for the students but now that the
classrooms have students from other cultures many administrator say no more
parties becuase they don't want to offend these new students.
Dah,  what about the students they are offending by not having the parties?
this bring to mind an old saying, "When in Rome do as ....."  this may not be
Rome but the phrase does qualify.

"You can please some of the people all the time, and all the people some of the
time, But you can't please all the people all the time...so get over it and move
on." (italics added)

there's enough lawyers out there ready to make a buck because they know most
people will not take a stand.  Kind-a-like the event next Tuesday.  Who's going
to vote out there?
