Students at a Washington state high school wanted to mark the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks by wearing red, white and blue at a Patriot’s Day-themed game the day before the anniversary but were refused because the event could "unintentionally cause offense to some who see it differently," according to a report.

Jason Rantz, a host on KTTH 770/94.5FM, reported that the event was canceled by an unnamed staffer at Eastlake High School in Sammamish "at the last minute." A student told the show that he was informed that the "red, white and blue was going to be seen as racially insensitive....

Tell that staffer that cancellation gives intentional offense who see it as a patriotic remembrance.

Anyone who would be offended should be offended.

"unintentionally cause offense to some who see it differently,"

Normal person: "Red white and blue is cool."
BLM activist: "I see it differently. I think that's offensive."
Official: "BLM activist wins. We don't want to be offensive."

BLM Activist: "White people are all racists and I want the curriculum focused on white evil."
Normal person: "I see it differently. I think that's offensive."
Official: "BLM activist wins. White people just suck."

It's a one-way street.

Pity if the person who felt that way should have a fatal accident. The only way this crap is going to be turned around is for such to begin happening. There is no way around such.

This is what I meant by it. . .the state of the state: Nazi Germany, officially known as the German Reich from 1933 until 1943, and the Greater German Reich from 1943 to 1945, was the German state between 1933 and 1945, when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party controlled the country, transforming it into a dictatorship. Under Hitler’s rule, Germany quickly became a totalitarian state where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the government. The Third Reich, meaning “Third Realm” or “Third Empire”, alluded to the Nazis’ conceit that Nazi Germany was the successor to the earlier Holy Roman Empire and German Empire

Same state. Go figure. That punk who threw out the flags needs to meet a rubber hose, as do many leaders in the state.

There will always be people who are perpetually “offended”. Personally, I am sick to death of everyone (or anyone, for that matter) catering to them in any way.

It is time for them to grow up!
