Fannin County is not Being Racial

As was a little shocked when I saw the story on Fox News about Fannin and  Gilmer County going to school on Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, which is a Federal Holiday. It seems that some believe that Fannin and Gilmer are disrespecting the slain civil rights leader by having school on Monday, January 17. It is not meant as disrespect or to offend anyone but is simply an effort to keep the school calendar on track since there as been so many days lost to snow already this year. If it is any consolation to those offended, Fannin County Schools will be in session for Presidents Day as well. If we are going to see an end to racism in our generation and fulfill the dream that Martin Luther King had for society, people of all colour need to put the past behind them realize that there is just one race, the human race.
