Did you know about human rights day?

Why is it that I have never heard of this? Why didn't anyone on campus talk about it? Or did i merely miss the memo? Why does it seem like we remember Christmas, Birthdays, and Party times but not a national day devoted to human rights? Are we that de-sensitized that we don't even know what's happening in our own world? I think it's unacceptabel that a national day of recognition goes unrecognized. It's the same attitude that caused some to believe that the holocaust never happened. If we don't give honor where it's due then we aren't helping our society, we're ignoring it.

I completely agree. Human Rights day is a day that everyone should celebrate. Especially in today's society. Human rights is one of the leading social issues. I'm surprised there were not more announcements in the news as well. I think that us, the youth of America needs to take action and start promoting this day more. It will only better out future.
