And the Pussification of America Continues: Malden Elementary School Bans Valentines Day So Kids Don’t Feel Left Out
Foxnews - Boys and girls at a Massachusetts elementary school have been banned from bringing Valentine’s Day candy or cards over cultural equality issues and federal guidelines regulating candy. Parents of students at Salemwood Elementary School in Malden, Mass, received a letter informing them of the policy – that impacts not just Valentine’s Day – but all holidays.“We have many different nationalities, cultures and languages spoken,” Principal Carol Keenan told Fox News. “Because of that we don’t honor specific holidays.”Keenan said she did not want some students feeling left out.“This is done with all good intentions – to have all students be accepted, to have all students feel like they belong,” she said. Keenan said they were not cancelling Valentine’s Day. Instead, the elementary school is going to celebrate a modified version.“Every student is making a friendship card for another student,” she said. “I wanted to make sure that every single student is given the opportunity to get a card and to also give a card. I didn’t want some students feeling left out.” She said she decided to send the letter after parents made inquiries about sending birthday balloons and birthday cakes to school.“We just don’t do that because we want equity for all,” Kennan said. Parents and local residents said they are furious at the decision.
You know what the most disheartening part of this story is? Not that they banned Valentine’s Day. It’s the fact that this doesn’t even remotely surprise me. Not in the least. I didn’t even blink when I read it. Like of course Malden Elementary School cancelled Valentines Day so kids wouldn’t feel left out. This just what happens now. Teachers, principals and school administrators have one goal in life now. Not to teach kids. Not to make kids think for themselves. Nope. It’s just to make sure that everybody thinks they are exactly the same. To teach them that there are no winners and losers in life. That everybody gets everything they want all the time. If Joey gets a good job you get a good job. If Joey dates a pretty girl you date a pretty girl. Equity for all really means everybody should be treated like they are identical humans. That’s the goal. No competition. No Valentines Day cards to the cutie you got a crush on because it’s unfair to the girl you don’t have a crush on.
You know what I did when I didn’t get a Valentines Day card from any of the smokes in my 3rd grade class? I didn’t cry about it. Well I probably did, but then I figured out it was because I had a huge nose and I better be good at something else or I was fucked. So I became hilarious. Now look at me. I’m a blogging mogul. All because I wasn’t tricked into thinking I could slide by on just being me. Thank Christ I’m not 8 years old nowadays. I’d be fucked.
PS – In all seriousness what happens when this generation of pussies graduate from college? I think we’re already seeing it with feminists and Occupy movement and these other groups who expect handouts for just existing. And it’s just going to keep getting worse. It’s actually really scary. Our schools act like we live in a socialist country. Bizarre.


its time to start the dickification of america. everyone go out and grab some ass and titties

Fat chicks need to figure out they are gross at some point. Might as well learn young when there’s still time to fix it.
If one person can’t have something, then “it’s not fair” and no one can have it. Keep voting Democrat, though…
I like that article ^ because it talks about Jenna.
I feel bad for kids who didn’t grow up in the 90′s and before that.
thanks to dumb lazy liberals we do live un a socialist country
that philly smoke has LOTS of daddy issues.
Since the beginning of time there have been 3 things which haven’t changed: death, taxes and the belief that the younger generation is nothing but gutless dumbass pussies. Which they are.
Looks like Pres has come to the realization that he is a freedom and liberty loving conservative! Welcome to the light.
I remember being in elementary school, they made you fill out a valentine’s day card to everybody, or nobody. so at least everyone got at least one. which was pretty stupid now that I think about it.
Didn’t you vote for Obama?
People in Malden are ugly and shouldn’t reproduce anyway… So I’m glad that the elementary school kids are learning it at their tender young age
The “mean” streets of malden……………..
I don’t know if it’s because Soundgarden played barely any classics last night and I’m depressed about it, but all these blogs today have sucked balls.
@thekman, I was obviously in school before you. If you got 7,8 cards in 5th grade, you could live with yourself. None of this “everybody” shit. And it also doesn’t surprise me anymore that it’s like this.
The “mean” streets of the 781 area code………..
Some day the bottom 20% of this class will have to learn that trophies and blow jobs aren’t for everyone.

I’m sure bro you seem like a real hardass.
As much as I hate politics, harry johnson is exactly right. This country is soft as shit now and it’s scary.
if you these kids are fucked wait til you see the geniuses blaming this on the democratic party
^ herbinmeyer is a typical stoned liberal. mom and dad still help out with his rent and bought him a car. Listen you stupid fuck – read a paper other than the Globe and watch some news other than CNN. Obama, Warren, and fucking Deval are all about making things ‘fair’ for everyone. These people run an agenda of pussification of the economy, the military, education, you name it. If you’re a white male, you’re the enemy. Dummies like you have no clue.
if you think these kids are fucked wait til you read what paranoid commenters think about politics, the media, and complete strangers
HJ, Keep using the “keep voting Democrat” line. It’s not overplayed at all. Controversy over people saving their parking spots in Southie? “Keep voting Democrat”. Red Sox have shitty year? “Keep voting Democrat”. Just because the world is turning in to a PC cesspool doesn’t make it Democrats faults. Go suck Limbaughs dick somewhere else.
Keep voting democratic..the fact the world and Mass is turning into a PC shithole is their fault. Everything else is clearly Bush’s fault – that’s what they told me on NPR.
Dont at least some of you feel bad for the one kid who didn’t get any valentines, gets picked on daily and will ultimately kill himself at 13 cause he saw no reason for living?
