What genuinely distresses me is that if Markowitz was a product of NYC public schools in the pre-political correctness days (as I was), he was certainly taught about Washington and the Founding Fathers, stood to say the Pledge of Allegiance before class every morning, and was taught patriotic songs. My elementary school classes were predominantly Jewish, as were my teachers, although we did also have pupils "of color" as the term is now, but no one tried to pretend that George Washington was or should have been Jewish or non-white. This does indeed indicate a sea-change in national consciousness in NYC if dirtbags like Moskowitz are taking actions like this one in order to do electoral pandering.
