It is never too young for little ones to think about the sacrifices made by our forefathers. This little one understood what it was all about.
Earlier this month I was distressed by the behaviour of the president of our local university students' body, who didn't like a mural put on display especially for the 100 years remembrance of World War One. It depicts a line of students receiving degrees, one of which is an unknown soldier who couldn't collect his degree because he died in the war.
This young woman objected to the fact that a) they were all men, and b) they were all white.
She has since apologised but one wonders what exactly we are teaching our children in schools if this is their line of thought, wanting to change or eradicate any history which doesn't fit with their view of the world. History is history, you may hope to never repeat some of it but you cannot change what went before, and you should never interfere with people's grief nor disrespect the dead.
