The subject of patriotism came up on one of the talking-head cable shows today and a reference was made to the Lexington High School “American Pride” school dance. It seems school administrators, in all their infinite “wisdom”, thought a few folks might be offended and proposed changing the theme to “National Pride” to include all nationalities. Really? Then it dawned on me. If we can’t get our country’s origins and history straight in Lexington Massachusetts, arguably the birthplace of this great Republic, then we may as well just throw in the towel right now. Moreover, if the fools we entrust our posterity’s education to can’t let go of their screwball ideological positions long enough to actually teach our kids the truth about who we are and what we stand for as a nation, then maybe it’s time to get some new teachers!
Thankfully, the students at Lexington HS were able to recognize the ruse and raised holy heck over the ensuing controversy, thus forcing the so-called educators to re-think their anti-American propaganda ploy. Kudos to these brave young Patriots for doubling down on the Liberty so many have fought and died to defend, and making the case for our Constitution and way of life! Enjoy your dance boys and girls…!
