(Check out Lest We Forget and FYI.)
If it wasn’t enough that China cleaned our clocks by sending us the Wuhan Chinese virus, now President Joe is finishing the job of killing the American economy.
Over the past ten months, Joe hasn’t given many press conferences -- four in fact. And when he is asked a question that he doesn’t like, he won’t answer, and walks away.
With all that time on his hands, we would assume he and Kamala had to have been working on something, maybe “Wow. We have to bring those gas prices down!”
Or, “Let’s get those cargo ships unloaded in the Port of Los Angeles!”
But instead Joe is begging OPEC for oil, when all he had to do was open up the Keystone XL Pipeline.
The one he shut down on his first day in office.
And when giving people money not to work ended up creating a worker shortage, Joe should have connected the dots.
It was then we saw what the Biden administration considers priorities.
Number one was making Kamala likeable. So taxpayers paid for a Kamala Space Video, to the Canada-based Sinking Ship Entertainment, and a gaggle of child actors, to clean up Kamala’s image.
Most Americans thought her going to the border and closing it would have done the trick, but Joe didn’t.
In his inimitable way, Joe ignored the numerous crises America is experiencing, then sicced the FBI and the Department of Justice on domestic terrorists.
American parents.
Joe owes the school unions a lot, and took umbrage with parents protesting Critical Race Theory in the schools, so he instructed Attorney General Garland to do something about it.
Even though he knew Garland’s family would lose money in the process.
Doesn’t that seem abusive to parents? But then again, what is abuse?
Usually it’s physically beating the hell out of someone.
But what about the abuse of teaching a child she is an oppressor? Another that she’s a victim?
Or that it will never change. And there's no hope.
Childhood should be a time of innocence. Fairy tales and learning the alphabet. Politics should not be part of the equation.
But it is.
Critical Race Theory is being taught in our schools, despite denials. And it's being pushed by very unhappy people.
It is hidden behind innocuous words like “equity,” “diversity and inclusion,” "empathy," "culturally responsive teaching," and “Social Justice,” buzz words of CRT.
The Theory has its roots in Marxism, according to CRT expert Christopher Rufo*, and this has profound implications.
“In Cupertino, California, an elementary school forced first-graders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, and rank themselves according to their ‘power and privilege,’” Rufo said of one of his reports.
“In Springfield, Mo., a middle school forced teachers to locate themselves on an ‘oppression matrix,’ based on the idea that straight, white, English-speaking, Christian males are members of the oppressor class and must atone for their privilege and ‘covert white supremacy.’”
I attended a School Board meeting recently, then a follow-up seminar led by Prof. Khyati Joshi, of the Institute for Teaching Diversity and Social Justice, to demonstrate what she was teaching teachers in our district.
In my opinion, Dr. Joshi’s views on racism in America were based on her experiences as to what “she suffered,” as a woman born in India, then projected onto America.
The anecdotal examples of racism were hers alone.
She lectured as if everyone agreed America is “systemically racist,” white Americans are privileged, and thus should be ashamed of the color of their skin.
She set out the proposition, as truth, that there are Victims, and Oppressors, and that the American idea that people can transcend their origins through education, hard work and good citizenship doesn’t exist.
In the final analysis Joshi’s course is just her opinion. And political.
Yet the school district did not hire a person as a counter balance to her ideas.
They relied on her degrees and her position as a professor at Fairleigh Dickinson as permission to hire her, and pay her a great deal of taxpayer money, but ignored her book, White Christian Privilege, The Illusion of Religious Equality in America,” which summed up her beliefs.
Beliefs which, in my opinion, indicate a hostile attitude toward America.
Is it any wonder parents are fed up with this Malarkey?
Hold the line, America.
Where We Go One, We Go All
Stay strong, Patriots
