I've got nothing against taking your kid out of school to do something like this (i.e. an occasional political protest, not weekly political rallys to the casue of your choice) - puts some real world context on life outside school.

But, having just gotten home without any knowledge of the goings on today, I wonder if this really will accompish anything. UNless ity was overwhellmingly successful (and I suspect it wasn't becasue I had a normal day) then people will say, "eh, we got along with the immigrants just fine."

I'm also troubled becasue no one really has articulated what this is really about or supposed to accomplish - raised awareness perhaps? I'm all for celebrating our countries cultural diversity, but I think this is a reaction to presumed legislation that hasn't gone anywhere yet. Then again, perhaps that makes it the ideal time to speak out.
