BernDawg said:... You go to your daughters Remembrance day assembly rehearsal and they give John Lennon 5 minutes and don't even mention the peace keeper that the school is named after!!!
No crap. We just got home and I still can't believe it.

BernDawg said:They sang Imagine which is fine but then added how much of a soldier he was for peace etc, etc. I am not opposed to his music or the use of it at the assembly but the added bit put me over the edge.
That is NOT the proper forum. Not to mention they didn't even mention Mark once during the entire ceremony.

Most assuredly.Greymatters said:I think what it demonstates is that they are all focused on an admirable end goal, but are forgetting how that has been and will be achieved...
Wow that is so dumb. I do like John but to call him a soldier of peace at a Rememberance Day Ceremony is just at a school named after a real peacekeeper is nuts.KingKikapu said:Well to be fair, Imagine does highlight many noble causes. You're all right though: calling him a soldier of peace is pushing the boundaries a tad much.
TCBF said:- I no longer attend the service at the U of A Butterdome because of that song. I spoke to the RCL rep and he saw nothing wrong with a John Lennon song at a Nov 11 ceremony. I pointed out the lines " nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too" and he told me I was the first to complain.
- Needless to say, THAT branch of the RCL does NOT get my dues every year!
