Mandatory course students will have to pay for.

“Anti-racism is PC-code for anti-white.”

We all know from our former Dear Leader that whites have racism in their DNA. Why this wasn’t considered to be a racist remark is beyond me. If you’re white you’re automatically assumed to be racist?

And if it’s in our DNA, how about the DNA of whites whose ancestors fought for the Union in the Civil War to end slavery; put their lives on the line; died or had their limbs amputated in field hospitals with no anesthesia; died of dysentery or typhoid or other diseases because of the hardship of long marches; died in prison camps of starvation? More 600,000 Americans died in that war.

The suffering was enormous. Do those whites who hated slavery, who helped slaves escape in the Underground Railroad get no credit at all? We’re all racists because our skin is white?

Pitt students forced to take these classes should boycott them. But the indoctrination continues. And these kids are crammed together in dormitories or off-campus housing. Watch COVID spread among them like wildfire. I hope the “professors” teaching these classes all get sick.

Every university in America should mandate that every freshman take a course studying the book The 5000 Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen. The course should be titled Principles of Freedom 101. The book lists 28 principles of liberty.

The first six are:

1. The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relations is Natural Law.
2. A free people cannot survive under a republican constitution unless they remain virtuous and morally strong.
3. The most promising method of securing a virtuous and morally stable people is to elect virtuous leaders.
4. Without religion the government of a free people cannot be maintained.
5. All things were created by God, therefore upon Him all mankind are equally dependent, and to Him they are equally responsible.
6. All men are created equal.

There are 22 more just as simple and profound as these 6.

After reading the above six principles, you can see why not even one public or non-religious university would offer such a course. Yet the book explains why by following the 28 principles in its beginning, America took a 5000 year leap and vaulted ahead of the rest of the world in every category important to the well being of a society—life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

We are now abandoning those principles with the same vigor, and we will not survive as a free people. I challenge every Freeper to obtain a copy of this book and consume it. Then share it with your family and friends.

I certainly hope Conservatives are no longer sending their kids to these Universities.

Be a good idea for patriots to audit this course and show up for that one hour per week to harass the racist/nazi teaching the course. Show up in MAGA hats, NRA shirts and American flag decals.

That assumes incoming freshman are racist. Screw that. Parents shouldn’t send their kids this year bankrupt the universities.

The current model creates racism where it didn’t previously exist.
