Newsflash to those not paying attention to current events forthelast coupleofdecades:They don’t teach Americanhistoryinourschools anymore.
And whattheleftist teachers, unions and administrators do try to passoff as “Americanhistory” are woke word salads projected through prismsofidentity politics meant to indoctrinate generationsofyoung American minds into believingthatourheroic Founding Fathers were “evil White supremacists.”
Withthatas factual background let’s transition to what recently took place atGeorgeWashingtonUniversity inWashington, D.C. AstatueofGeorgeWashington– as inthe”Father”ofournation– was desecrated byanarchistson campus “protesting” Israel’swar against Hamas.

Ironically, privilege and entitlement appear to bethecoinoftherealm forthese pampered, wealthy and oh-so ignorant students andanarchistsprotesting against “privilege” and “entitlement.”
Ifthey had ever cracked an honesthistorybook,they would have learnedthatitwasthegenius, courage and great sacrificeofmen likeWashington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison and John Hancock that gavethemtheright to “protest” inournation.A right many have shamed via violence andthevandalizingofproperty.
VideoMaybethese students andanarchists–who are often funded by outside sources with far-left agendas – should pause for just a moment intheir moralizing to contemplate what would happen to those “protesting”theexact sameway in, say, Iran, China, North Koreaorother totalitarian regimes.Rogue states untouched bythegeniusofourFounding Fathers.
GWU ANARCHISTS CALL FOR BEHEADINGS OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AMID ANTI-ISRAEL ENCAMPMENT
Allofthis anti-history, anti-facts and anti-American nonsense is precisely why I authored a book intended to preventthecancellationofourFounding Fathers bythefar left, “The56 – Liberty Lessons From Those Who Risked All to signTheDeclarationofIndependence.”
With regard tothelawlessness and anarchy taking place onourcollege and university campuses, on July 2, 2022, Iwas up at West Point to discuss my book.
VideoSoon after my session finished, a seniorofficer at West Point quietly approached me and asked if he could speak with me in confidence. After wewalkedoff totheside, he outlined in detail howhisalma materwas not only “going far left but eliminatingorwatering down one standard and tradition aftertheother.” With tears inhiseyes, he begged me to gettheword out.

Thiswas not Berkeley, NYU, GWorsome other “liberal” university.Thiswas Americanhistoryand sacrifice beingwatered downortwisted at West Point andourother service academies.Ifthat’s notthecanary inthecoal mineofourrights and liberties being eradicated in allegiance to woke left narratives, I don’t know what is.
Theliteral ignorance on display atGeorgeWashingtonUniversity is a direct byproductofthose empowered to honestly and ethically educateouryouth abandoningtheir responsibilities fromthepre-school level alltheway tothegraduate level.Again, with muchofthis being funded by far left outside groups pushing socialistorMarxist agendas.
VideoSadly – and quite unnecessarily in some instances – duringtheheightofCOVID, countless high school commencement ceremonies were canceled.Now,often becauseofthecowardice, ineptitudeorideologyofcertain school presidents, more and more college and university graduation commencements are being canceledorcurtailed asthese so-called leaders cave totheanarchistson campus.Columbia University –theepicenter for muchofthesanctioned unrest – is butthelatest to cancel its university-wide commencement.

But alas, do not give up all hope.There are still some “profiles in courage” on someofour campuses.Adrian College’s Jeffrey Docking being one.Not only did this college president in Michigan select former UniversityofKentucky swimmer Riley Gaines to bethecommencement speaker, but he defendedhisselection againstthepredictable backlash from both alumni and students.
VideoGaines,ofcourse, has become an “enemy”ofmany ontheleft for daring to saythatbiological men should not compete against girls and women in sports – a belief held bythevast majorityoftheAmerican people.
In defendinghiscourageous selectionofGaines, Docking told Fox News Digital in part:”I thinkthathigher-ed leaders need to hold strong right now and not cave in to peoplethatwant to crush free inquiry.”
Shocking.A college president speaking as one forthevast majorityofAmericans and not caving totheanarchist mobs running rampant onourcampuses.
GeorgeWashingtonwould have been proudofhim.
