I have long held that when the left gains control of an entity — be it a city, a university, or even a simple educational project — it loses all awareness of what the initial purpose of that entity might have been. It brings the city, the university or the simple educational project to foozle — that is, to ruin.
Consider the universities. They began years ago teaching their students things that they should know. Such as the history of our country, how to think, how to eat with a knife and fork — the bare essentials. Now the universities of the land have courses in anger management, Black studies, Hispanic studies, green studies and bathroom etiquette.
It claims to have discovered that America was not founded in 1776 by people who are known to history as the Founding Fathers, but by people who arrived in the New World more than 150 years earlier and brought a group of enslaved Africans along with them. It is not recorded that they tried to form a government, and it took these settlers years to legalize involuntary servitude.
According to the conjurors of the “1619 Project,” the “institutional racism” and the White supremacy that goes with it began in 1619. It persists to this very day, though Black people fare even worse in much of Africa. You will find a whole continent of them there, though the conjurors of the “1619 Project” are not interested in the Black Africans’ fate. Not many Black Americans today are lining up to go back to the old continent. Let me tell you why.
