Am I working myself up for no reason, or is this utter bull****?

I think you're working yourself up for no reason. 9/11 will always be in our memories but we absolutely cannot define ourselves by the event. As such, while I would prefer any school to have a proper memorial, I cannot fault them for simply overlooking it. That being said, though - should the school avoid any rememberance due to political factors, I would have a problem with it.

Either way, there's enough in life to stress out over than this.
