The day of tolerance was created by the United Nations in 1996 and echoes many of the diversity, equity, and inclusion mantras present in progressive politics.

Quote:A Redmond elementary school canceled the annual assembly to commemorate and honor Veterans Day. They are replacing it with a “Peace Assembly,” leaving some parents “disgusted” by the decision.
Benjamin Rush Elementary in the Lake Washington School District traditionally holds a Veterans Day assembly. It features the school’s choir performing songs like, “It’s a Grand Old Flag,” “This Land is Your Land” and the national anthem. But this year’s celebration will look different.
In place of the Veterans Day assembly, the school’s administration opted to recognize the International Day of Tolerance, sponsored by UNESCO, on November 15 (International Day of Tolerance is November 16). And some parents feel like they were kept in the dark about the change.
Veterans Day does not celebrate war. It celebrates those that served in the military. I don't know any veteran that enjoyed war. That might be why we have so many veterans with PTSD and other trauma based mental issues.
I am not surprised that they want to get rid of Veterans Day. It is obvious that they have no love or respect for veterans. What I find interesting, is that they are surprised that the youth are not interested in signing up.
Our youth are very much aware of how our veterans are viewed and treated. They are smart enough to know that there is nothing in it for them.
Fodder, lambs for the slaughter. Today's youth are too smart for that.
