Not to be a downer on the weekend, but Victor Davis Hanson's piece in American Greatness on "The Cruel Progressive Creed Undoing Civilization" is a must-read for any concerned American citizen. Saturday or not, we don't have time to waste. The Communists and Marxists in our elite ruling class are very busy dismantling our society, 24/7. We who wish to protect our national values, institutions and traditions have got to keep pace, and knowledge is power.
The brightest ray of hope to end the death spiral is the army of parents rising up across the country to challenge the radical left-wing agendas of school boards and to demand accountability. In many cases communities have initiated efforts to recall school board members and--most encouraging--many parents have chosen to run for election to their school board themselves.
This activism and involvement on a local level is very good news for the ultimate health of our republic. It is a necessary reaction to overreach and oppression. In the USA, contrary to progressive dogma that believes only it knows best, "We the People" are the government. We ourselves are responsible for maintaining our hard-won liberties. Freedom begins--or ends--at our own doorsteps.
