On May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation, declaring the first national Mother's Day. Nearly one hundred years later a brave group of anti-mother activists are standing up against this discriminatory and likely unconstitutional day.
The group expects to file a lawsuit in federal court to prevent national recognition of mothers. Activists opposed to Mother's Day wished to make it clear that they are not anti-mother only anti-Mother's Day but when asked to explain the difference became unclear.
When asked why the country should no longer recognize Mother's Day one man said he never knew his mother and has no knowledge of her and he questioned why the federal government is effectively forcing him to honor his mother who he's not even sure exists.
In fact, the group argues that there are many reasons not to force Americans to honor mothers including doing it for the children. The activists argue that children in schools that have activities or spend time making gifts in art class for mothers are left feeling awkward if they don't have a mother. They also pointed to a small but growing number of Americans who aren't particularly fond of their mothers.
The group also said that this "day-long nationally enforced mother worship" has no precedence in our country's founding documents. "Nowhere are mothers even mentioned in our Founding documents" said one activist. "Why do we all have to pretend to love our mother by order of the federal government?"

When has the government ever forced anyone to honor mother's day? There is a day set aside for people who wish to honor their mother, if you don't happen to have a mother then you are not required to observe the day.
Just more liberal BS aimed at tearing down the morals and traditions of the USA.
Is this satire? I can’t tell anymore.
It is satire. But kinda' telling that the world is so crazy that no longer can normal people tell the difference between satire and reality. --Matthew Archbold
And, Shimmer, if nothing else, your mother brought you into this world, and it sounds that the world is better for that act. She may not have done any other good thing in her life, but at least she did that.
Thank you, I’ll try to remember that a little better. :)
