Truly, we live in auspicious times.
Those who have sinned will be cast down; those who are sinless will set new social standards for the rest of us. After all, we now live in the only generation ever to produce truly virtuous human beings.
What else should we make of the graceless religious wokeness promoted by our moral betters, such immaculate moral personages as Robin DiAngelo, author of "White Fragility," and Nikole Hannah-Jones, Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of The New York Times' pseudo-historical 1619 Project?
DiAngelo informs us that all white people are sinners by nature, inculcated in the evils of whiteness and utterly incapable of repenting such sin ... unless, of course, they purchase a diversity training course.
DiAngelo says that it isn't enough to oppose racism: We must "interrupt" the systems in which we live in order to become "anti-racist," a vaguely defined term apparently meaning nothing so much as parroting the more purple writings of Ibram X. Kendi.
Hannah-Jones, meanwhile, happily takes credit for the rioting and looting that has wracked the country and that she has spent time justifying -- she recently thanked a critic online for terming this unrest "the 1619 riots."

Unless conservatives make a very quick effort to take back the education system—bottom to top—America is over.
The Freedoms given by God, secured by our forefathers, and enshrined in our Constitution, can only be sustained by a virtuous and God fearing people.
They are neither.
If you want to know their agenda, just ask "What Would Satan Do?"
And we're all disappointed they became arrogant and self serving? Heck, that's the way they were raised.
The Hippies of the late 60’s weren’t any different. Some of the most arrogant and self-righteous people who ever walked the earth. The Left never changes. Shapiro needs to study some history and quit acting surprised all the time.
How on earth did we willingly hand over the educating of our children to leftist totalitarians? It boggles my mind.
Socialism wont work unless everyone is on the same page. Be ready to fight for home schooling, charter schools, vouchers, etc.
Yeah, WTH is DeVos doing?.....
They disguised themselves as “moms in tennis shoes” who just wanted to “Save Our Schools” - and white female suburban voters, desiring better babysitters, ate it up.
Precisely what can De Voss do?
The Department of Education was set up by congressional legislation & is primarily a clearing house for money & directives all almost entirely legislated. To do anything that’s worth doing & lasting will require legislation.
Which reminds me of how the oil sheiks raise their over privileged young boys.
And both sets of children behave in the same spoiled way.
The Republic was over on Usurpation Day when both parties swore in a man who is not a natural born citizen.
The education establishment had already dumbed people down enough that they don’t even know that Obama is ineligible to be President.
Yeah, too many Deep Staters and RINOs pretending to be on board with his plans, just to be able to sabotage it from within.
‘arrogant and self-serving moment’
Finally, Ben can speak from experience.
It turns out that this kid is semi-educated without much rigor and pumped full of arrogance because he took a few programming courses in college. Today's education at many institutions of higher learning amounts to nothing more than vocational training. I suppose each successive generation assumes that they are at the pinnacle of achievement. It seems that history is not being learned and is often erased and replaced with an arrogance based on very flimsy achievement and over-hyped marketing. This trickles down from hard-core science and engineering into traditional "liberal arts" and today's fill-in-the-blank "studies". Perhaps it has to do with justifying the completely over-priced and insignificant educations kids get these days. (You gotta be great if you are $100k in debt coming out of college and colleges make sure you feel that way.)
While I used technology as an example, I believe this applies to most areas of learning/knowledge, whether it be business, economics, political science or history. What is truly being missed is the recognition of foundational works of the past and building upon them. Instead, leftist politics are advanced on the basis of hearsay and that requires ignoring their failures - hence the rewriting of history.
Just a disclaimer, I do recognize that there still is some greatness being developed in the younger generation, it just won't show itself until they hit their stride in their 30's and 40's. That's if they are not held back by the overwhelming dumbing down of their contemporaries.
Thanks for hanging in their with this entirely too long of a post. I just need to get my juices flowing this morning.

Not stoopid, but YUGELY ignorant. History? Wut’s that?
Bump
Your tag line reminds me of a bumper sticker I once saw. It said, “No Jesus, No Peace. Know Jesus, Know Peace!”
