Some interesting but mostly paranoid and triggered responses but I’ve come to expect nothing less around here.
You want my take on what is genuinely a threat to one’s liberties, freedoms,democracy and way of life? Probably not but since everyone else if throwing out their theories and opinions, why should I be any different?
First though, I did some digging into this story. It was first reported on mynorthwest.com, the website for 770KTTH, a conservative talk radio outlet in Seattle after one student’s father anonymously contacted them with his disappointment at the change in the traditional activities. The article was picked up and parroted across other right-wing news outlets that did little more than reference back to the author at KTTH while adding their own flavor of spin and outrage.
It was also noted in the original post that folks tend to want to ignore:
So moving on to counter some of this Marxist boogeyman takeover nonsense, the true threat people should be worried about is Christian Nationalism and the attempts to impose a theocratic authoritarian based autocratic style government. If you want to read something that should truly scare the shit out of you take a look into Project 2025
At least one person didn't forget to blame those goddamn transes for the downfall of society which was good for my out loud laugh of the day! Thanks, I needed that!

Quote:A district spokesperson downplayed the decision to replace the Veterans Day assembly. She noted that students will still learn about Veterans Day and honor veterans by “watching videos about the sacrifices that veterans have made and making cards to thank veterans.” Those cards will be delivered to Seattle VA Medical Center. The spokesperson said this provides a “more personal connection between students and veterans.”

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
