Memorial Day is supposed to be devoted to honoring the heroes who fought and died for our country. But for some kids, it’s just another school day:
RT @BillBishopKHOU Class is in session on Memorial Day for school districts like HISD, Ft. Bend and Katy. It's a winter storm make-up day.

Not every school is out this Memorial Day –> http://t.co/WjuxbX3Cdx

Some public school districts in states like Texas, North Carolina, and Kentucky evidently believe that this day isn’t all that special or significant.

if you have school today on Memorial Day your district is RUDE ?
— chizaram. (@itsjustcheezy) May 26, 2014
Rude … and disrespectful.
DHS is probably supporting the communists today. School on memorial day is not American.

I guess buncombe county thinks school is more important than memorial day. If it wasn't for our soldiers we wouldn't be free and able to go.

Nice Lovejoy, making us go to school on Memorial Day and not even putting up the American flag.

Being at school on Memorial Day is disrespectful. I rather be with my grandpa in Louisiana giving him thanks for fighting for our country??
— Savannah (@Vannah1298) May 26, 2014
Having a dad that was in the service I find it pretty damn disrespectful that we have school on Memorial Day.
