Traditions are worthless on their own. If a tradition conflicts with modern values, then that tradition should absolutely be reevaluated, at the minimum.

I strongly disagree with you. Traditional values like hard work, the nuclear family, Christianity, patriotism, and respect for veterans are highly beneficial for society. If we ditch or "absolutely ... reevaluate" traditions when they conflict with modern values, we lose all the wisdom of the past and embrace the constantly-evolving, fickle dictates of fashionable opinion without regard to civic virtue or common sense. This is dangerous and must be stopped.
