Call it the “War on Christmas” or call it political correctness run amok, or perhaps assume that this reletively minor holiday next week just slipped their mind, but this is absolutely ridiculous. Next week NYRA will be recruiting at an activism fair at Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, MD. So I went […]
