School Cancels Mother's Day to Promote Inclusivity and Diversity

Recently, staff from the Albert McMahon Elementary School in Mission, British Columbia, sent a letter to the students’ parents and guardians, indicating the cancellation of events related to the holidays, particularly those in the classroom involving the making of gifts to be later given at home.

The full letter reads as follows: "As Mother’s Day and Father’s Day approach we have met as a Primary (Grade 1 and 2) team to discuss our core values. In an effort to celebrate diversity, inclusivity and also nurture our students who are part of nontraditional families, we have decided to encourage those celebrations to take place at home. Due to this, the children will not be making gifts at school to give on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. We feel each family knows the best way to celebrate with their own family."

The school is not trying to prevent those who want to celebrate from doing so, though. Instead, administrators implemented the policy in order to be sensitive to one particular student's family situation. "The reasoning [for canceling Mother's Day festivities] wasn’t some cabal or some political plan," superintendent Angus Wilson said. "Instead, there has been a recent trauma involving a student and its parents."

They’re excluding 99.9% of people to promote inclusivity and diversity? Only people that are truly insane can say things like this and be, like totally super cereal.

If your 'mother' has male plumbing it isn't a mother.

Once again, the lunatic left shows that diversity, compassion, inclusivity only include those they approve of. Very SOP now.

“”events related to the holidays””

Gosh - didn’t know Mother’s and Father’s Days were holidays. Don’t tell Congress or they’ll find another reason to have a two week recess...

“” Instead, there has been a recent trauma involving a student and its parents.””

SAID a Superintendent??????? Really - the local dog catcher wasn’t available for the job?

But I guess today it’s perfectly logical to call a student “its”....as who can tell anymore and stay out of trouble anyway?

That’s some stretch for them to cancel Mother’s Day and Father’s Day when neither day is held on a school day.
