Many schools are now no longer awarding The best students awards.

Personally I’m in favor of honoring the Best but if the left is so against awarding the best for doing well, why is the left still handing awards like Oscars, Tony’s and Emmy’s to actors?
Or are the losers handed the trophies?

First of all, we now know it was never the best who got the awards but rigged by Harvey Weinstein and other powerful people who pulled the strings and decided on sexual favors or for other reasons who would get an award.

If the left keeps demanding to stop all these awards for categories they don’t succeed in then we should stop watching all award shows and not buying any product that is broadcast during the commercials.

We now have transgender women who win races for the fastest runners as natural born women can beat a men who changed their body and then want to compete as women.

Award shows are ruined by the left as it only seems to be ok to give awards where the left feels they can win!

I’m apllauding the father/parents of a student who put up a billboard to honor their child’s great school performance as the school was no longer honoring that due to outrage by the left.

Sadly all newborns will not experience the great times we had until the left became so intolerant that only when the left can win can be tolerated as an award show!

Personally I don't watch TV award shows. So if they stop broadcasting them it will be okay with me.

I rarely watch award shows other than the Oscars, why do you care so much about shows like the Tony's. We know you don't watch them just read about them.

As far as award shows go, I couldn’t care less since I don’t watch them. As for awards in schools...I think kids should have competitions and have awards to honor the top achieving students. All this crap about participation awards for everyone, so no one feels left out is ridiculous.

If you work hard, you should be rewarded.

No. Award shows are the industry’s way of kissing their own behinds. Why would they end that?

Totally Agree - just switch them off.

The 2018 Oscars saw audience figures plummet to a new low according to media reports.

I agree. I'll watch reruns of Forensic Files for the 8th times. There are few Movie Stars today that have the glitz and glamour of the old days.

Hollywood's best days are over.

How about some facts supporting all your allegations of 'it's the left!' ?

Do what freedom loving people like me do. Make your own choice to watch or not watch and allow others to do the shame. Not sure what's wrong with that
