The Diversity Delusion: Race & Gender pandering corrupt our universities & undermine our culture

[USNavyVet]

The history of the National Anthem takes about 5 minutes to teach. I know, I taught it.

Did you teach it was developed by a socialist, initially didn't include "Under God", or that this is what they had the kids do when reciting it.

AWKWARD!!!!

Or did you just give the sugar coated version of it.

That was back in the day when even socialists were patriotic.

Mindless adoration is patriotic?

Bullshit. America is the greatest and most generous country this planet has ever seen. However if public schools keep harping on the negative and divide our children guess what they learn?

that slavery and genocide of native Americans were things that happened?

I would hope they learn these things.

that information is not taught.

no one that understands that wonders why, not even joe

Again, teaching jingoism accomplishes, what, exactly?

We have some great stuff in our history, and we've made some truly awful mistakes. Now here's the thing, nations, like people, learn more from their mistakes than they do from their successes.

But you have admit you made a mistake to start with.

Slavery was a mistake.
The Genocide of Native Americans was a mistake
McCarthyism was a mistake.
Jim Crow was a mistake.
The Salem Witch Trials were a mistake.

1. Slavery was a mistake.
2. The Genocide of Native Americans was a mistake
3. McCarthyism was a mistake.
4. Jim Crow was a mistake.
5. The Salem Witch Trials were a mistake.

1. Slavery was a mistake, as is allowing illegals to continue to come across the border and work like slaves illegally. The border needs to be secured.

2. The genocide of native Americans was also a mistake. They wanted their land and natural resources. It was a money thing. Conversely, abortion is also a mistake, a mistake most people make because of financial concerns. Both evils are due to a love of money.

3. McCarthyism may be the only thing on the list that may not have been a mistake. When I look at the media and government and education who are in love with socialism today, the same that has people in Venezuela eating out of garbage cans, I wonder if McCarthy did not go far enough or if it is even possible to successfully fight off socialists.

4. Jim Crow was also a mistake, as is the notion that SCOTUS should be allowed to decide such things all by themselves.

5. The Salem Witch trials? Well, we would not have had to endure Hillary, but yea, those were a mistake as well.

What do you think isn’t taught?

history of the National Anthem

the Constitution

minor stuff like that.

You would be incorrect. Those topics are taught, just not remembers by kids who think they never have to keep any information for more than a few days until the test is over.

I was not taught any of that.


not passed grade school and not more than a single class.

I'll bet it was taught and you were either absent or asleep. You were never taught about the Constitution? What libtard dominated state did you live in?

The history of the National Anthem takes about 5 minutes to teach. I know, I taught it.

BTW, the word is "past", not "passed".

If it was Chicago, what did you expect? If not, you slept through it.

Sounds like a good reason to go after the rich white people who exploit them because they don't want to pay your lazy white trash ass... not the people who are trying to better their lives by coming here.

2. The genocide of native Americans was also a mistake. They wanted their land and natural resources. It was a money thing. Conversely, abortion is also a mistake, a mistake most people make because of financial concerns. Both evils are due to a love of money.

Women have always gotten abortions and they always will. Deal with it. When you start advocating throwing women in prison for getting them, (something we never did even when it was "illegal"), I'll take you seriously.

3. McCarthyism may be the only thing on the list that may not have been a mistake. When I look at the media and government and education who are in love with socialism today, the same that has people in Venezuela eating out of garbage cans, I wonder if McCarthy did not go far enough or if it is even possible to successfully fight off socialists.

We have people eating out of garbage cans in this country. by that logic, Capitalism is evil and sucks.

4. Jim Crow was also a mistake, as is the notion that SCOTUS should be allowed to decide such things all by themselves.

Except SCOTUS didn't come up with Jim Crow They just said it was legal until they realized that was a bad idea.

5. The Salem Witch trials? Well, we would not have had to endure Hillary, but yea, those were a mistake as well.

Wow, guy, I'd tell you to work on your misogyny, but i don't think it's curable.

so when do white people stop taking handouts like social security, medicare, unemployment insurance... you know, "White People Welfare" which is perfectly okay because white people.

SLAVERY: It is no longer possible to have a rational discussion about slavery, but one might note that it existed for the vast majority of human history and it continues today. The U.S. is the ONLY country in the world that fought a war to end slavery and formally granted full citizenship to the former slaves. Unfortunately, one cannot legislate human interaction and behavior. On the whole, all things considered, the U.S. is not the Devil when it comes to this aspect of its history.

GENOCIDE OF NATIVES: While the U.S. treated the natives abominably, the "genocide" theme is overblown. Most of the death of the locals was due to communicable diseases, which were not intentionally passed along. Also, the natives were just as ruthless amongst each other as the Europeans were to them, taking hostile populations by war, mass executions, etc. The Europeans did not invade the figurative Garden of Eden.

MC CARTHYISM: Much of the U.S. government was infiltrated by COMMUNISTS from the 30's through the 50's. This is not a myth, or a mis-reading of history, but a fact. These were actual members of The CPUSA, whose primary mission was to overthrow the U.S. government, and establish a Workers' Paradise like the Soviet Union. There were a few excesses, but the threat was real and had to be dealt with, sometimes violently. It was not for nothing that everyone going to work for the U.S. Government (like me) or entering in the military had to swear that s/he was not a member of a group that sought to overthrow the U.S. government. Contrary to what you might learn in today's government Leftist public schools, this was a real threat posed by serious people, and not just a phony Bogey Man.

Sure we can have a rational discussion. Slavery was wrong. A country supposedly founded on freedom that had slavery,and where have of it fought a war to preserve it, is a disgrace. Period. Full fucking stop.

The fact that their are some inbred morons who want to fly their Confederate Flags and be proud of their grandpappy who fought the war for the South is really part of the problem.

Obviously, you missed the part where they handed out blankets infected with Smallpox. Yes, it absolutely was intentional, such as when the mass slaughter of bison was made policy to starve the natives out. If that isn't genocide, I don't know what is.

You know where Hitler got the idea for concentration camps? American Indian Reservations.

Oh, horsecrap. The idea of persecuting people because of their political beliefs is unacceptable in a country, which once again, was supposedly founded on Freedom.
