School Cancels Mother's Day to Promote Inclusivity and Diversity
Teen Vogue ^ | May 9, 2017 | Rachel Jacoby Zoldan

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."

” Promote Inclusivity and Diversity” Anything but, pure nonsense.

"a student and ITS parents."

Good catch. And that's the cumulative result of all this gender deconstruction and cultural vandalism: dehumanization.

Diversity is the scourge of America, nay, the scourge of the earth.

They really need to cancel Black History Month, because it always makes me feel left out.

Bull$hit. They grab every excuse they can to suppress anything from our good and wonderful heritage: Mother’s day, Father’s day, Columbus day, Easter, Christmas. Need I go on?

But they leap at every chance to promote pagan festivities such as ramadamadingong, Summer Solistice, The birthday of the first Druid, Kwanzaa and every other idiocy man has invented.

Mother’s Day is as old as Christianity. It is celebrated In May in relation to Mother Mary’s sainthood, and is celebrated by all Judeo-Christians. It is a slam on God our Father and on Mother Mary.

Sorry, I meant to say the omission of Mother’s Day is a slam on Judeo-Christian beliefs.
