But surely patterns based on % of population can't hold anymore!? Does it not take just 1 single member of a minority to bring the majority to its collective knees in begging forgiveness for being so shortsighted as to have a preference for certain attitudes/activites/hokidays?
Hence we must abolish all mention of any such nonsense as majority rule etc. --Mike --- On Tue, 10/14/08, Paul Brandon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Paul Brandon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [tips] Is there a Judaism bias?

Deans are always sending memos to faculty to be cognizant of Jewish holidays and allow Jewish students to be excused from classes and make provisions for make-up for those students. I am not aware of ever receiving a memo re Islamic students (Ramadan),or Haitian students(Voodoo),Afro-Cubans (Santeria) and Brazilians (Condomble). Send me something.
