National Day of Pink - forces everybody to obey - claims celebrates diversity?

On the announcement by Ontario school boards that in conjunction with newly imposed “Gay-Straight Alliance” clubs, they would be holding a “National Day of Pink,” Steyn’s sarcasm turns acidic. “Er, I don’t think I have a lot of choice on that front, do I? ‘For schools holding Anti-Bullying events in April, you still have time to order [pink] shirts at a discount.’ That’s great news! Nothing says ‘celebrate diversity’ like forcing everyone to dress exactly the same, like a bunch of Maoists who threw their workers’ garb in the washer but forgot to take the red flag out.”
Diversity, as it happens, is where Steyn says “nations go to die.” Canada is one example. “If local Mennonites or Amish were segregating the sexes and making them enter by different doors for religious services in a Toronto grade-school cafeteria, Canadian feminists would howl them down in outrage,” Steyn points out. “But when Muslims do it they fall as silent as their body-bagged sisters in Kandahar.”
