Since the Public School system in Montgomery County does not close for the muslim holiday, one of the alternatives is to eliminate references to rosh shanna and yom kippur and just list those days on the calendar as no school days. One option would be leaving it the way it is right now and one of the options would be to not mention the holidays by nam but still the schools would be closed.

After several incidents this year, the nfl adopted a zero tolerance policy on the use of the n word. Game officials can now impose 15yard penalties for first phelps and eject players for a second offense. Can the league really enforce the policy .

Here to talk about it is troy johnson of whur. Troy, this season several players have been penalized and find. But this has long been an issue in the nfl, hasnt it . It has been. One they have been trying to figure out how do they deal with it for some time now. And it comes at a time when we know the nfl is already dealing with a lot of other issues they have under the mike scope. Highprofile Domestic Violence incidents, the conversation about traumatic brain trauma in the nfl. All of these things going on at the same time. Now were talking about a conversation about the n word. And as you mentioned, highprofile players like colin kaepernick, from the 49ers, he has been fined and comes with a 15yard penalty. If youre concerned whats going on during a game. So hes actually appealed the fine. But you know, he says i never said the slur in the first place. So its kind of a bit of a controversy, either way. What are people saying about timing, though . Why do they think the nfl decided now is the time to tackle this issue in this manner with yard penalties and fines, and do they really think this policy can be enforced, especially on the field . They tell me they think the issue is one the nfl is genuinely trying to address. But at the same time, we know this is a billiondollar business. And a lot of fans of the nfl know, and its a phrase thats been used quite often. Protecting the shield. And, you know, if youre a savvy nfl fan, you know the nfl, especially under all of this criticism and controversy as of late, is trying to work to prepare that image. And this may be a way in their words to do it. How about the debate itself, troy, over the use of the word in our culture . Do people think the generational divide that has developed makes this debate less useful . Well, its a debate that has to continue. Its one that folks whether they want to have it or not, know at least when ive spoken to them, that its important. May not feel like having this discussion at times, but its one that is going is not going away. Its a word we all know is based in racism and hate, and no matter how manyiterations of the word or how we try to deal with it, listeners tell me its something that is wrong in the first place and were going to have to deal with at some point.
