Canadian School Cancels Remembrance Day Symposium

For the past 19 years, students at an Ottawa high school have hoisted 10-pound military rifles to feel what it may be like to lug one around in the muddy trenches. They’ve met veterans and heard their stories, learning how their families were affected and what it was like to fight so far from home. But this year — the year that was supposed to mark the 20th Remembrance Day Symposium at Notre Dame High School — they will get no such chance. The traditional school event, scheduled for Nov. 10, has been cancelled because of a school committee decision to ensure there were “no tanks or guns” at the event, its co-ordinator told participants in an email last Friday.

Insanity. Total insanity, and political correctness gone too far. Okay, fine, kids from some war-torn country might find deactivated guns and military vehicles disturbing. Two solutions: either give them the option to not participate, or explain that the only reason they're able to come to a peaceful country like Canada is because these men went overseas and fought for freedom across the world.

It's not liberals so much as it's idiots. I'm pretty well as liberal as you can get (with one or two areas of exception, free speech and weapons), and I think this is nuts. Stupidity is lighter than air, the dumbest always float to positions of authority and make the entire spectrum of their beliefs look as dumb as they are.

And it is not so much idiocy as it is 'mental illness'...

IMO, Science will proves that liberals actually cannot help it.
