Yet again we find ourselves scratching our heads, or C.S. Lewis’, over what they teach in schools. Like calling Remembrance Day a lousy time to wear a Canadian Forces uniform but a grand chance to celebrate Hamas, then stammering nonsense when criticized because they had no idea anyone might disagree with the sweeping decolonization of so-called Canada.

Hence Ottawa’s Sir Robert Borden High School played “an Arabic song associated with Palestinian protest for Gaza,” as one news story called it, as the only music at its Remembrance Day ceremony. Meanwhile Sackville Heights Elementary School in suburban Nova Scotia, as another news story soft-pedalled it, said veterans and serving Canadian Armed Forces members “should consider leaving their uniforms at home.”
