Veterans and active members of Canada’s military have been asked to not wear uniforms.
An elementary school in Halifax has gone woke by asking veterans and active members of Canada’s military not to wear military uniforms while attending the school to appease its “diverse makeup.”
Sackville Heights Elementary School, located in the northern part of the city, made the request in its November newsletter.
This decision would effectively cancel Remembrance Day, and make any ceremonies to honour the fallen during World War I & II inadequate.
Kate Harrison, the director of research firm Abacus Data, slammed the decision as a “slap in the face” on X (Twitter).
Reminds me of the story of an Ottawa mom (who is a police officer), who was forbidden from wearing her uniform when speaking to Grade 1 students for a career day.”
Tim Houston, the premier of Nova Scotia, slammed the decision as “cowardly” and “insulting” on X.
In the Nova Scotia and Canada I know, our veterans will never be asked to hide who they are.”
This just one out of numerous examples of Canadian schools cancelling traditional events due to pressure from the woke left.
UPDATE: Sackville Heights Elementary School reversed it decision, and will continue with Remembrance Day ceremonies, allowing attendees to wear full military uniforms if they desire. This appears to be in response to media attention and pushback from the province’s premier.
