One-in-five U.S. Millennials see American flag as sign of ‘intolerance’ and ‘hatred
The National Sentinel ^ | December 4, 2018 | National Sentinel

(National Sentinel) Warning Sign: A new survey found that roughly 20 percent of American Millennials have been brainwashed into believing that the U.S. flag is a symbol of “intolerance and hatred.”

According to the “State of American Patriotism Report,” which was designed to assess the patriotism and historical knowledge of young Americans, also found that six in 10 Millennials (ages 22-37) actually believe the United States is racist and sexist.

As bad as these results are, it gets worse: The survey results indicate that love for country is declining among young Americans in general.

For instance, nearly half — 46 percent — of young Americans between the ages of 14 and 37 did not agree with the statement, “America is the greatest country in the world.” Also, more than half — 53 percent — say the U.S. is a sexist country, while 54 percent said our country is racist.

The survey was conducted by the public opinion firm YouGov for the Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness (FLAG), a non-profit organization that educates Americans “about the values and principles that make our nation exceptional,” CNSNews.com reported.

FLAG founder Nick Adams said he was “totally unprepared” to see the “epidemic of anti-Americanism” that was revealed in the survey.

President Reagan constantly warned us about this apathy and disdain. This is why the left gushes over Bush now because he squashed Reagan-ism and his vision and ushered in millennial rot.

Let's pass legislation demanding they honor the flag. That's how the liberals do it.

Baby boomers and “the greatest generation” are not the same group. One begins where the other ends.

I'm fully aware of that. Both generations still managed to kick the financial disaster can down the road until now the Millennials have to do something about it.

I'm going to LMAO when they vote in socialized medicine.

This is a BS headline backing a poor sample design.

Here are some actual data:

-They oversampled Dem Millenials : 36% D vs 20% R, with 26% Independent and 13% "not sure." Thus, if 19% of this age bracket think the flag is a sign of intolerance and hatred, that could simply mean about half of Dem millenials feel that way while Normal Millenials don't feel that way at all.

-The Millenials they sampled are overindexed Blue geographically (Northeast and West).

--Finally, they oversampled college-educated Millenials.

Trump won by 78k votes. There are a slew of Millenials wating to be red-pilled by lots of Deplorable Millenials. That should be our focus vs parroting garbage polls. / rant.

If they went to a restaurant with a Swastika in its logo, would they dine there ?

If they have a problem with the flag, I would think they would leave this country too.

When’s the last time a typical millenial or school kid said this?

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

(And do please notice: it says republic, not democracy.)

“You can blame the educational system for most of it...”

Yes! And that means: blame pubic school teachers. Individually. Directly. Strongly.

“How much American History have they been taught in school??”

NONE!, However I found out by accident while reviewing my sons 7th grade school work one Friday. I found a Quiz on Chapter 2 of a book they were reading in class.

First question: How do you feel about viewing pictures of burned and disfigured human beings?

I asked him to bring the book home.

Next day he came in and told me the teacher said they could not bring the book home.

The book is “Sadaka and the Thousand Paper Cranes”. A true story of a young Japanese girl who was burned horribly and her family killed by the American Air Force who dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

This is what is going on in our public schools. Deliberately instilling hatred against this country.

Trump should disband the federal Dept. of Education and return control to the states.

A informative read on how bad it is :”The Deliberate Dumbing Down of American Education”.

Yes it said deliberate!

What makes you say that is not an appropriate sample?

That's why one should be liberal and tolerant. Don't fly the American flag -- fly the First National.

This proves our education system is a failure. 20 percent of millenials are uneducated.
