It's swell for other races to declare entire months their own, but only bigots would want a month for white folks. After much cogitation, the school board decided that having a month for European-Americans wasn't really racist after all, which is something of a breakthrough in itself.

They have agreed that they no longer define the civilization of the state and that they have now devolved into just one more little brick in the ethnic and racial mosaic.
