Marxist indoctrination of our children continues as Washington high school banned 9/11 tribute because some students might be “offended” (www.naturalnews.com)

There is an old saying that goes something like, “If you go around watching what you say, you’ll never get much said.”

The meaning is simple: You should not be more concerned about hurting someone’s feelings than speaking your mind, especially in America, where our speech is (supposed to be) guaranteed and protected.

But increasingly, the Marxist left operating through the Democrat Party is clamping down on our First Amendment right to expression especially when it comes to overt displays of “America First” patriotism, under the phony guise that such displays might ‘offend’ a few people (or even a lot of people).

That is especially true at our country’s public schools, which have long been dominated by America-hating leftists who believe our country is systemically racist, irredeemably bad and premised on “colonialism” (as though the United States is the only country ever founded by people not from here originally or through conquest).

One of the most recent examples comes from Washington state, where officials at a local high school forbade any remembrance of the 9/11 attacks, the worst terrorist assault in our country’s history that left nearly 3,000 of our citizens dead, leveled a global financial icon in the twin towers of the World Trade Center, and struck at the heart of our national security, the Pentagon.

Students of a local high school were ready to wear red, white, and blue to honor the lives lost on Sept. 11. But school staff pulled the plug, concerned the expression could be racially insensitive and offend some people.

At Eastlake High School in Sammamish, student leadership promoted a Patriot’s Day theme at a football game at Memorial Stadium against Rainier Beach. The game was previously canceled, then rescheduled to the day before the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Students wanted to do something to remember the tragic events. But staff intervened.

An email shared with Rantz’s radio program notes that the principal claimed wearing the nation’s colors may “unintentionally cause offense to some who see it differently.”

Rantz said that many students were upset by the principal’s decision, and some parents speculated “school officials thought their majority-minority opponents would be offended by American pride.”

Interestingly, the students at the high school weren’t even born when 19 terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners on Sept. 11, 2001, slamming two of them into both World Trade Center towers and a third into the Pentagon. The fourth airliner was believed to be heading for the White House but passengers on board overpowered the hijacker pilots and the plane crashed into a field in western Pennsylvania near Shanksville.
