Faculty at a Massachusetts high school have canceled "USA Day" from its spirit week activities this year because they wanted to "avoid politics," local outlets reported this week.
In a letter to the school community, Wellesley High School principal Jamie Chisum explained that school staff canceled the patriotic-themed day to avoid a topic that had become "politicized."
"USA Day" was slated to be held on the last day of the high school’s festive week, allowing kids to dress up in their patriotic gear and celebrate America. The theme was replaced by "Fitness Friday," though students were still invited to wear their patriotic apparel.
Student Unification Program member Olivia Spagnuolo spoke to local Boston 25 about the school’s decision, saying it was not open for debate. "The administration was not going to let this happen. It wasn’t a topic for discussion," she said.
Spagnuolo’s group had been tasked with coming up with the daily themes for this year’s spirit week, which included "Throwback Thursday" as well as "Wild West Wednesday."
The week of festivities has always been part of building up school spirit leading up to the school’s annual Thanksgiving football game.
Spagnuolo explained the administrators’ decision, saying, "They said it was not allowed because it separated people at the school." The Student Unification Program also noted that this is not the first year that the idea for a patriotic spirit day has been vetoed.
Chisum’s letter provided more detail on the move, stating, "The high school Administration decided not to go forward with that spirit theme because it felt really different than the other themes kids came up with for the week. We felt that the topic has been politicized beyond our school and we wanted to avoid politics."

“They said it was not allowed because it separated people at the school.”
Nowadays, “Civilization Day” would be similarly controversial. People who embrace barbarism and cruelty would feel marginalized.
Wellesley, the crazy town that makes Provincetown and Northampton look sane... 🤓
That makes Northampton look sane... 🤓
And by “avoiding politics” they made a political statement.
Malicious idiots, all of them.

Democrats on the Boston City Council are looking to extend local voting rights to foreign nationals in the United States on visas, green cards, and other forms of legal status.
Councilwoman Kendra Lara (D) introduced the measure, which would allow foreign nationals on green cards, visas, and other forms of legal status to vote in Boston municipal elections. The measure is likely to gain widespread support from the council, which is made up of 12 Democrats.

The taxpayers should not be funding young skulls full of mush who feel “separated” by “USA Day”. Toss their asses outta school and send them back to their third crappers that they love so much.
We should have the ability to nix Mass from the USA. Nothing of value there. Ditto kalifornia. Orygone. Etc.
