School Cancels Veteran’s Day Ceremony… Because of 21-Gun Salute

 21-gun-salute-B

Yesterday America honored its men and women in uniform for their bravery and sacrifice, unless that is, you live in Wisconsin’s Eau Claire School District where celebrating our liberties and freedoms should only be done when it’s convenient and politically correct.

According to The Week the school district has cancelled its Veteran’s Day program because the shooting of guns is “inappropriate.”
For more than 80 years, a local Wisconsin school district had hosted a Veterans Day program to honor former soldiers, featuring a traditional 21-gun salute. But after reports earlier this year of parents and students feeling “uneasy” about the firing of guns on school grounds — even with blank rounds, as is customary in the 21-gun salute — the Eau Claire School District canceled the program.
Apparently, some parents complained to the school council – it’s not clear how many – but the town’s 80 year old tradition has now been cancelled. Well, maybe not cancelled, Veterans and those who want to celebrate can move down to the local Burger King parking lot, where the 21 gun salute has been authorized.

  2. Those admins are more worried about a salute with blank ammo than they are about nuclear armed Russian bombers flying routine surveylance over the Gulf of Mexico. After all, they are educators. One step below community organizers.

  3. I can remember as a kid, looking for the spent shells. I thought they were cool. I wonder what's next. Cancel the Independence Day Fireworks, because they are too scary and loud? Why are we rewarding the whiners?

      Must be somewhere in the manifesto.
