UPDATE: The outrage grows, goes national The People stand up to the arrogant, Hard-Leftwing "progressive" moron.
The Hard Left is hard at work screwing things up again in Canada.
Now one New Brunswick school has axed the daily O Canada, our national anthem.
The excuses:
Erik Millett, the school's principal, said he made the decision partly to accommodate parents who didn't want their children taking part in the daily anthem. He would not say why the parents didn't want their kids taking part, citing privacy reasons.
Privacy reasons? Oh, that's just bullshit and he knows it. He doesn't have to identify the parents, if there were actually any in reality, as opposed to in his imagination, whom he claims complained and indicated that they don't like their kids singing their national anthem. Wonder who, if there are actually any, these parents are. They don't sound patriotic; they sound like more of those stupid "progressives", as does the principal.
"We try to balance the needs of every student, and we want every student to feel welcome in our school," Millett said.
Sound familiar? Next thing you know there'll be Islamic footbaths and prayer rooms. There'll be unisex bathrooms so as to accommodate "all gender perceptions", etc, etc...
"If we need to make some accommodations or exceptions, then we'll try to put those in place regardless of what the issue is."
Yeah, yeah, yeah... heard the same crap from a whole lot of other "progressives". And I emphasize the word "crap".
And here's where you have final confirmation that the principal is an idiot:The school principal said maybe the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission or Education Minister Kelly Lamrock should speak to administrators about what is reasonable accommodation because they don't really know.
Imagine that: The Liberal Fascists of the NB "Human Rights" Commission deciding whether Canadian schoolchildren can sing their national anthem on a daily basis. Horrors! Yep. Hard-Left extremist, this principal is. He didn't have to do what he did.
But he did, and he deserves to be called an unpatriotic asshole.
True patriots should demand that the school bring back the daily rendition of the national anthem. The only true reason for nixing it is POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. Can't offend the imaginary parents who don't want their kids exposed to their national anthem.
I bet the principal wouldn't axe homosexual propaganda stuff even if the majority of parents complained that they didn't want their kids exposed to it. Ditto Islamic propaganda stuff.
It's not about "accommodation" or "rights" or "balance" or anything like that. It's all part of "progressive" Liberal Fascism, about the transformation of the Free World in line with the Hard-Left international socialist agenda.
UPDATING.............
Canadian Freedom Fighter Ezra Levant disses the Hard-Left principal, digging up some fascinating dirt on just how radically Hard-Left the guy is...
Here's a local story from from when Millett ran in the 2004 federal election. He describes his philosophy and role models thusly:
I am: an ally for gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans-gendered persons; anti- racist; pro-feminist and a pacifist at heart. My political influences and inspiration are drawn from: Ernesto (Che) Guevera, Noam Chomsky, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Audrey Lorde, Malcolm X (El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz), Aung San Suu Kyi and Dr. David Suzuki among others.
(...)
During one all candidates debate, he took on the local Conservative MP, Greg Thompson -- for the U.S. war on Iraq. The other candidates wore suits. Millett wore a fake biohazard suit, to "wow" the crowd. The amateur thespian lost the room, though, according to this news report:
...by handing Mr. Thompson a list of potential jobs his kids could get in Iraq and a box of garbage bags, he said, for their body parts, the crowd turned.
See? Hard-Left wacko dude! A veritable poster boy for wacked-out Leftists!
They're talking about this dumbassed, Hard-Left, booger-gobbling poophead of a principal over at SDA...
Ah... I was right that he's a stark raving lying moonbat. Politically active, actually... he ran for the weird, bizarre, radical enviro-extremist Green Party (hence the booger-gobbling label).
See, there he is, looking like he skinned Kermit the Frog to make that stupid, ugly jacket. And what's up with his shirt? It looks like he accidentally washed it with some weed... And look, he missed that very same spot on his chin again while shaving... what's that, something that serves a certain, ah, private-interpersonal-interaction function of tickling a bodypart that touches his chin?
I understand that he's also a peacenik. Eww!
Commentor Sounder advises us of the response he received from Education Minister Kelly Lamrock:
"Thanks for sharing your views with me. As you may have heard on the news, I have clearly let schools know that I want, and expect, the anthem to be played in our schools. While we are a nation that values diversity of religious views, political views, and cultural ideals, those freedoms cannot be separated from respect for the nation and symbols that safeguard those freedoms. I have let our educators know of my desire to see children have the opportunity to know and share in the national anthem, and of my willingness to make necessary changes in policy to ensure this happens. Kelly"
Well, I must congratulate Minister Lamrock on his stance. Apparently being a Liberal doesn't necessarily preclude standing up to the Hard Left and saying, "NO!", though we don't see Liberals do it often enough, particularly at the federal level.
This unhinged moonbattery on the part of that unhinged-moonbat principal must not stand!
Yes, I insult the guy wholeheartedly, and in a politically-incorrect manner.
But my insults pale in the face of the insult he made to Canada and the Canadian People!
He's a traitor!
Push back the Hard Left! Put them in their place! Preferably the loony bin! Or perhaps Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, Gaza... I'm sure they believe they'd love to live in any of those socialist-progressive utopias where there's equality for all and no hatred or tyranny at all!
