A Memorial is Not A Pep Rally
I wonder if I was the only viewer who was uncomfortable watching the memorial service in Tucson, Arizona last night on TV.
The crowd of 14,000, mostly college students, showed a lack of education in social grace when they responded as though they were at a pep rally instead of at a memorial service.
This was not an opportunity to come cheer for the ideas they agreed with that were put forth by the speakers, but rather a time for quiet reflection.
Did they not know that the grieving victims’ families were in attendance? Would they create or appreciate that type of atmosphere at their own loved one’s memorial?
Yes, there were times for laughter as well as tears and applause, but cheering as though it were a basketball game or political rally showed a lack of respect for the grieving families, and showed a lack of maturity by most of the attendees.
Perhaps the students in attendance would benefit by a class in appropriate behavior because it was sorely missing at last night’s memorial service for the victims and survivors of a tragic event that happened this past Saturday in Tucson.
There was evidence last night that the education of our youth is missing something – A class in respect.
All the best,
John
