TORONTO (LifeSiteNews) — A Toronto school took down a Mother’s Day sign after a woman said she was offended by the “terribly misguided” message that had been created by sixth graders in honor of their mothers.
According to a report by CP24, a local woman on Tuesday posted an image to Facebook of the sign outside the Kew Beach Junior Public School on the east side of Toronto.
The sign read: “Life does not come with a manual. It comes with a mom.”
“I don’t know if this is a terribly misguided attempt at wishing folks a happy Mother’s Day or just generally the worst sign possible,” the woman, whose four children don’t attend the school, wrote on Facebook. “I don’t feel like this represents the neighbourhood it’s in, the cohort of families at this school, or anything really.”
CP24 reported that numerous people responded to the Facebook post, echoing the original poster’s criticism of the Mother’s Day message.
“One person said that the greeting was in ‘bad taste’ while others called it ‘inappropriate,’ and ‘mega exclusionary,’” the outlet reported.
