(8,217 posts)I can understand the "Not meant to be on the same day as the anniversary," but they really should have thought about that, and how it will be perceived.
I can also understand that tragic events should not stop people from living and going about their business, however it is still an open wound, that event. The fact that they acknowledge that this was "not meant to be on the same day as the anniversary" should have alerted them to the backlash.
Basically by going about what they have done is in keeping with saying "don't care, I got mine".
By the way, I do not have Facebook, nor can I access that, so I can't actually verify. However, I can understand that you are mentioning that it is a standard weekly Saturday class on December.
Still, does not change the fact that they should have anticipated this and planned accordingly if so.
