A Massachusetts high school is having a serious debate over the theme of a scheduled dance.

According to WHDH, students at the school in Lexington said that the school administration canceled their ‘American pride’ dance because it may exclude other nationalities.

The ‘American pride’ theme received the most votes from the Lexington High School dance committee. Despite this, the administration is standing behind its decision, saying it’s are willing to tweak the theme in order for ‘everyone to be included.’

In LEXINGTON of all places???!!!!! smh...

I know, I know, but it's a very liberal town. Noam Chomsky lives there, as do a lot of Harvard and MIT professors, so even years ago it had a reputation as left of center. Now, though, most of Massachusetts is about the same.

You would be truly dismayed at how many people in this country under twenty years of age aren’t American; at this point, public education itself is another freebie for immigrants because so few Americans are breeding.

Well, perhaps things are on the upswing in Lexington.

After all, the students voted for the patriotic theme.

By the way, love your screen name.

“diversity” simply is an attack on our Western Culture, and ultimately an anti-Christian agenda.

Make no mistake, the administration didn’t do this out of a fear of excluding other nationalities. They did it because of the Pride part of American Pride. That’s a no-no, to them.

If America was a “melting pot” (a concept coined and promoted by a socialist), why are there still black people in the US? If we were a “melting pot,” black would have disappeared several decades ago into the larger population.

I guess we have a different definition of the “melting pot”.
To me and as I was taught, it is about USA citizens and immigrants who come here to become USA citizens. They may be different colors, have different cultures and customs, but when they come to America, they are one, one nation.

American Pride

Melting Pot is not about physical characteristics, but blending into American Culture.

But the leftists got rid of that in favor of the “tossed salad.”
