An elementary school in Redmond, Washington, canceled its annual Veterans Day celebrations in favor of recognizing a United Nations-sponsored International Day of Tolerance.
Benjamin Rush Elementary in the Lake Washington School District typically holds a Veterans Day assembly for its students, featuring the school choir singing “It’s a Grand Old Flag,” “This Land Is Your Land,” and the national anthem, according to 770 KTTH.
Instead, the school’s choir will sing songs relating to the theme of “Tolerance, Acceptance and Kindness,” with titles such as “Live in Peace,” “Namaste,” and “Amani Utupe.” The latter was composed by Patsy Ford Simms and was written in English and Swahili with the alleged meaning of “grant us peace, give us courage.”

No wonder here as the libturd morons indoctrinate the school kids. Sure is funny they will be wanting the military to step up when the terrorists attack!!!!
WITH THE ONGOING COMPROMISE AND BETRAYAL we probably do not have to worry about stepping up again. We just have to figure out how to survive the leftist surrendered tyranny.

The “UN Sponsored Day” will probably be called the “Kill All WW2 Veterans Who Are Still Alive Day” followed by the “Kill All MAGA Voters Day” by the left.
You know it sounds a lot like when იოსებ სტალინი,of sorry, Иосиф Сталин, oh sorry, you probably don’t speak Russian, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin went after the kulaks. Thanks to Democrat voters the USA may become the USSSA, Union of Soviet Socialist States of Amarxica.
That’s some insight into the current problems in Ukraine.

More destruction of American History to Indoctrinate the children. How many more holidays commemorating important people, and destruction of memorials and statutes will take placer till nothing of our history is left?

Well, more proof of what two men wrote about the educators. Samuel Blumenfeld, an advocate of phonics wrote NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education and he was the first person that made me aware the John Dewey was a socialist and believed the children should not be taught to read of mathematics, because the schools were to turn children into socialists. Dewey was a professor at the University of Marxigan, in Ann Arbor, Marxigan in the early 20th Century. Interesting that a FBI agent predicted in his 1958 book The Naked Communist in a list he called Goals of the Communist this Goal: #17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in textbooks. Other Goals include this: #30. Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
Oh, University of Marxigan use to be known as University of Michigan.
College professors like Weather Underground founder, Bill Ayers, was out bombing America while some of us were out defending America. For those that are not aware Ayers mandated for his Weather Underground pals what was called “smashing monogamy.” Read Paul Kengor’s book Takedown to find out what that is.
Bill Ayers [Rules for Radicals] was also one of Barry Soetero’s mentors.

If you are singing “grant us peace, give us courage”, who is going to do the granting and giving? Is prayer back in schools?

Shaking my head in utter disbelief, as I watch a third convoy of UN troops dismount from their vehicles on the highway, in plain sight of the crucified and dismembered bodies of the two previous UN convoys.

I never thought that i would see the day when our country got a cancer between the Muslims, LGBTQ and Biden. If Trump doesn’t get in we’re through.

I remember being warned bout the communist connections to UNESCO back in 1955. Mom saw this stuff coming a long time ago.

Disgusting, but not surprising. The generation of today is incapable of performing any ty0e of deductive reasoning when it comes to simple logic so they just fall in line with all the other lemmings going off the cliff.

Pamela Geller tells her own story of how she became one of the world's foremost activists for the freedom of speech,

Today Islamic supremacists are demanding more accommodation of Islamic principles
