SNIPPET OF THE DAY – AT 10:21 A.M. ET:

Calling the decision "disrespectful," Charlotte City Council member Patrick Cannon on Tuesday harshly criticized the school district's announcement that students would attend classes on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday to make up for a snow day.  Also Tuesday, the Charlotte chapter of the NAACP called for local clergy to urge church members to keep their children out of school Monday.  Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools had planned next Monday as a holiday, but a severe winter storm has closed school so far this week.

Another horrible example of black "leadership," which often produces nothing but fodder for the race industry.  Dr. King would probably want those kids in school, to make up for time lost.  That would be a real way to honor him - a normal school day with time out for reflections on his legacy.  Too bad the "leadership" doesn't understand that, and prefers a day off to education.
