Not America Any More

A disturbing event happened this week that I fear is representative of the fate of our nation.  A high school principal in West Virginia decided to play the so-called "Black National Anthem" during the morning patriotic observation at his school.  Some students rightly refused to stand during the ceremony because the so-called "Black National Anthem" is not THE National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner.  To accord another song, the honor due the real National Anthem, no matter how beautiful or symbolic it might be, would be inappropriate.

The principal then disciplined the students who refused to go along with his unpatriotic and inappropriate action.  In turn, the parents of the students who were disciplined brought rightly pressure to bear on the principal. The school board then decided that nobody had to stand up for the National Anthem.

So, what really happened here?  First, we have an educator who is more PC than Patriot that decided to force the students under his control to accord respect due the United States alone to an expression of his racial pride.  Never mind the fact that racial pride is only acceptable for some races in our society and is classified as a "hate crime" if expressed by others.  The parents of the students disciplined, instead of lynching the principal as many would suggest that Southern Whites would do in such a situation, petitioned their government for redress.  The redress they received was not the disciplining of the principal and the reestablishment of the proper place in public life an official symbol of our country.  Instead, the school board gave students the right not to respect ANY symbol of our country.

So, what happens now?  If you play the Star Spangled Banner, some of the white students will stand while everybody else sits.  But, if you play the so-called "Black National Anthem" the next time, then the white students will sit while the black students stand.  And I guess if you play the Mexican National Anthem then the Hispanic students will stand and everybody else, but the PC types will sit.

This is not the way to unify students in their identity as American Citizens.  It is a way to teach racial hatred. Once upon a time, we taught that people of any race, creed, color or national origin were welcome IF THEY WERE WILLING TO BECOME AMERICANS.  Not hyphenated Americans.  Just, Americans.  Period.  We were a melting pot, not a salad bowl.  We strove to become one people of one nation with equal rights and equal responsibilities for all.

But now, our public schools and other institutions are destroying that unity by allowing illegal aliens to immigrate without going through the assimilation process.  Our schools teach that the America that the people of my generation loves is evil and wicked and needs to be changed to look more like the places these immigrants fled from.

You don't have to look any further than public schools in California, Arizona and Colorado to see where this policy is going to take us.  In some Hispanic dominated schools in these states, it is dangerous for a student to wear clothing with the American flag on it because the Hispanic students will attack anyone wearing the symbol of our nation.  These same Hispanic students refuse to study American History claiming that they have the right to study THEIR OWN cultural history instead.  Some schools districts have even flown the Mexican flag on their flag poles.

So called "multi-culturalism" has another and much more ugly name.  Tribalism.  In only a couple of generations America has been changed from a melting pot made stronger by the addition of new Americans from around the world who shared our vision of freedom and liberty to a salad bowl of competing tribes who are increasingly violent toward each other.  And frankly, our current president and his Justice Department have not only allowed this but encouraged it.

BHO was elected by HIS tribe more or less ... and those others who do not understand what he really stands for.  My tribe, the traditional American tribe of ALL races, is out of power.  Increasingly we are looking like an African nation whose politics and population are defined solely by their tribal identities.  Not having experienced the horrors of Tribalism, many Americans do not understand what it means for their tribe to be out of power.  We should probably talk to some Hutu's or perhaps some Nigerian Christians to get an idea of where this tribal brand of multiculturalism is taking us.
