The heart of America, of Western Civilization, is its middle class majority - productive, moral and reverent.
Not so moral any more, not having enough children, and losing productivity due to a failure to properly educate children. Moreover, we can be outvoted in a few years.
Europe, led by Chirac, embraces anti-American propaganda generated by antiAmerican American "liberals". What we should be concerned about is countering "liberal" hate speech. "Vichy" France, having colluded with the corrupt United Nations, does not deserve America's "concern." France's government and its extensive bureaucracy have no firm ethical grasp on governance because its constitution is ever "revolving" and arbitrary.
I am not talking about the Fifth French Republic. I am talking about France remaining French, not being overrun by Muslims.
Our dispute with France is that between a family. The dispute with the Muslims is existential.

*I agree with your observation. The KEY to not losing heart is reaffirming familial orientation and family moral cohesiveness. The NEA should NEVER to allowed to dictate public school policy and curricula. NEA's members are not elected, are not representative, and they are nefariously attached to a "global" agenda. The NEA is not a practicing teachers' union. The NEA is a quasi socio-political association universally OPEN to members who "qualify" according to the NEA's STANDARD as educators, e.g., NAMBA, etc. The NEA is more akin to the U.N. than it is to America's PTA.
America's parents should have be able to claim tax deductions as well as funding for all education related expenses for their children: tutors, remedial, charter schools, extra-curriclar, etc. The evil irony is that the NEA and the Teachers' Unions want to dictate to and control all academic alternatives to failed and flawed public schools. NEA's agenda for homosexual social-orientation and explicit (and subliminal) sexualogy at primary and secondary school levels represent a highly irresponsible and unwholesome ideology. Our public schools have disevolved to leftist/liberal socio-political indoctrination labs. I'm not attesting to an uninformed or to a partisan theory. My opinion is based not only on current studies, stats and reports, but on direct observation. Results speak to the truth of the matter.
