I&#8217;m pretty sure among the dead that day 20 years ago were people of all colors and creeds. In fact, of the nearly 3,000 killed, 90 countries were represented. There are 197 countries in the world. That means that 9\/11 touched nearly one half of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Rantz from <a href=\"https:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/3141211\/rantz-high-school-cancels-9-11-tribute-says-it-could-offend-some-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KTTH reports<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Eastlake High School staff canceled a Patriot&#8217;s Day theme to honor victims of 9\/11 because someone could be offended by red, white, and blue clothing.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>At Eastlake High School in Sammamish, student leadership promoted a Patriot\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>According to an email obtained by the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH, the principal said wearing those colors could \u201cunintentionally cause offense to some who see it differently.\u201d Students are upset. And some parents now speculate school officials thought their majority-minority opponents would be offended by American pride.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>More at the source.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Washington State high school nixed a red, white, and blue 9\/11 20th anniversary memorial because &hellip; <a title=\"Washington high school cuts red, white, &#038; blue 9\/11 tribute because it might offend\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=117533\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Washington high school cuts red, white, &#038; blue 9\/11 tribute because it might offend<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[220,455,47,271],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-floggings-will-continue-until-morale-improves","category-gwot","category-liberals-suck","category-ygbsm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=117533"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117533\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117535,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117533\/revisions\/117535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=117533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=117533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=117533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
