Campus Reform reporter Addison Smith conducted the experiment to get an idea of how many students would happily forget about the day of remembrance for fallen US heroes.
Smith managed to get 50 signatures in a short time, with some condemning the holiday before even reading the petition.
One student said “I don’t think Memorial Day should be a thing that we celebrate… I feel like it’s a celebration of U.S. imperialism and colonialism.” The student added “I didn’t really think in this way until I got to college, and like, I took women’s and gender studies classes, and that put me on this path where I’m like, “Yea, like, f-ck the U.S.’”
A similar experiment by the Daily Caller found that many Americans don’t even know what Memorial Day is for, with one man commenting “most Americans don’t know because they’re stupid, but that’s OK.”
No wonder Kamala Harris ignored Memorial Day in her now-famous Tweet.
I'm sure they would if they could. https://t.co/ggjHBpOiW7 pic.twitter.com/LGNLf2Ainb

A truly sad day in America. A society that forgets its history is doomed to repeat it.
