After 9/11: Will Remembrance Lead Us Back to Unity?

9/11 means something to *some* of us who were around when it happened. The other day I read about a school system that had its teachers teach about 9/11 in a way that wouldn’t offend Muslims. Our elites of the political class and the media trivialize the attack by saying that those who don’t walk lockstep with the regime are as big a threat as the Islamic terrorists. Identity politics and the victim culture have fractured us a thousand ways. The version of “history” taught in many schools leads many students to come to believe that America has been a force for evil from its beginning, and the world would have been better off if America had never existed. The education system, the media, and much of the corporate world push a lamebrained and authoritarian agenda that cancels out those who value liberty and seek to preserve it. It is normal for people to love their country, their home, but the left always advances what is abnormal.

So, no, I do not share the writer’s optimism. She is right about prayer, though.
