(THE COLLEGE FIX) — There’s been yet another overreaction by “social justice”-minded educators, this time at a school in Vancouver, Canada.
McMahon Elementary School sent home notes with students which encouraged parents and guardians to celebrate Mother’s and Father’s Day at home, and to not expect any festivities at the school.
Here’s why:
“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 non-traditional 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.”
