Back in the early 1980s, some conservatives began raising the alarm about the rising tide of anti-Americanism in primary and secondary public schools. "History" textbooks became "social studies" textbooks. Teaching the incredible story of America's founding was given short shrift, inspiring stories of individual Americans were omitted in favor of highlighting our many faults and teaching a form of "social history" that concentrated on those who were oppressed in the past.
There is nothing wrong with teaching the complex and problematic history of America's past. But not at the expense of the truth. In fact, the amazing story of our founding and growth as a bastion of individual liberty and democracy was deliberately buried to inculcate a false consciousness about America to which few could feel pride.
After nearly 50 years of indocrtination, those efforts have borne bitter fruit.
PJ Media:
Two students at one of America’s most elite liberal arts colleges recently decried America as not offering “anything worth being proud of.”
In an opinion essay for The Oberlin Review, student field hockey team members Kennedy Kline and Ua Hayes boasted of taking the knee during the National Anthem at their most recent field hockey game:
When our field hockey team stood for the national anthem Saturday, it didn’t feel right. We didn’t feel proud to be standing for America because we didn’t feel that America offers anything worth being proud of.
Both Kline and Hayes are students at Oberlin College, currently ranked the 26th top liberal arts college by U.S. News and World Report. Comprehensive tuition is $67,917 for one year alone, not including expenses like travel and books.
Citing America’s history of slavery, Kline and Hayes justify their actions by claiming that their "blackness" supersedes their identity as Americans.

Just wait when alumni start pulling back on their donations to them.
[Comprehensive tuition is $67,917 for one year alone, not including expenses like travel and books.]
So horrible being able to pay over 50K per annum for tuition.
Just a horrible, horrible country.
You understand, don’t you, that the $67,917 annual tuition is only for white people?
Whew, E-I-G-H-T?? How many man-hours & taxpayer $$ did it take to round up these brain-trusts? Way to GO, MD!
So glad I left there when I did....
That's amazing.
I would have thought the entire team would have had a sit out the game in protest so there cant’ be that much support out there .
BTW, Oberlin is tiny loony school so who really cares about what two obscure players at a Tier -5 school did on their equally obscure field hockey team for gosh sakes.
The dorm intramural co-ed flag football results at Arizona State are a more significant event than anything that happens at Oberlin.
Just leave. Just go to another country. What do they expect?

The left was able to turn our schools into re-education camps because we weren’t paying close enough attention. Now, it appears to be too late.

Sorry, but ‘weren’t paying ATTENTION’?? Where’s ya been since the 60’s (at least), if not for the start of the whole silent-coup beginning w/ J. Dewey.
As for these two shits, yank any/all public funding and toss their asses into the non-US country of choice.
Last time I looked, no one was making you stay in the USA. If you don’t like it here move on!!! OUT.
Is field hockey the same as road apples? ;^}

The left has infected EVERY aspect of society. No matter their numbers, they are winning the hearts and minds of the young. If we don’t put a stop to this very very soon it definitely will be too late. Are we just going to complain until we finally pass that point of no return? And then complain some more?
>
Sorry, FRiends, but how’s that ‘lesser of 2’ lever-pulling\.5-loaf-theory been going for ya? 40yrs+ on the platform of abolishing the DoEd, but bigger than ever thanks in no part to GW & the (R) Congress...The lie(s) is older than I.
Perfect! And perhaps we need to separate the “wheat from the chaff” as Chris Rock outlines it here:

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like where men were free. ~ Ronald Reagan
