Two Ontario schools: they say stress makes us stupid, but what about wokeism or other sectarian ideologies?

Thanks to Mr. Jonathan Kay for informing of the following:

Is there anything more unwise and divisive as the above? Why are school boards getting into such illogical reasoning, which may be stemming from extreme multiculturalism to the extent of denying one’s own heritage? Even in the Lebanon where Bambi grew up in the middle of bloody civil war, people celebrated Christmas with joy. Many decorated their houses for the event, even without being of the Christian faith themselves. So, now you are going to convince Bambi that an event in the month of December is disrespectful to people who do not celebrate Christmas? Nonsense. Once again, this mentality seems to be stemming from a cultural form of self-hate. How can you pretend to be welcoming to newcomers from different cultural backgrounds when you do not validate your own cultural tradition? And haven’t you thought about more local people as well as immigrants who may love Christmas?

In the same spirit of collective self-disrespect toward one’s own history, there was another unacceptable story in a different school of Ontario, namely in Ottawa. Thankfully, the principal came to his senses and “apologizes for song played during Remembrance Day assembly” (https://shorturl.at/lo66p). The song was a Palestinian Arabic song related to the current round of war in the Middle East, which clearly did not not have any place in a ceremony meant for Remembrance Day. How sad it is to hijack such tribute precious time to score an ideological (political or religious or whatever else) point of view. How unwise it is to do so, regardless of the theme or language of the song, whether in Hebrew , Arabic, or in Farsi.

For God’s sake, enough of sectarianism and tribalism. This day is just one per year where Canadians come together to honour those who gave their lives to serve our beautiful country. Leave the Middle East out of it. Those of us who left the latter did it precisely in order not to hear about it on a such a meaningful day as Remembrance Day.
