MY SAY: BDS- BOYCOTT, DIVEST AND SANCTIONS AGAINST AMERICA?
We hear a great deal about the BDS movement whose malevolent goal is delegitimizing Israel.
Here in our own United States, there is an equally malevolent and growing movement to delegitimize our most valued institutions, our history, our monuments, our language, our laws, our legislature, our freedoms of speech and thought and assembly, our national culture, and our sovereignty.
Institutions and individuals are sanctioned and boycotted for perceived offenses against gender and race. Our grammar is altered to erase gender. Our immigration laws and national security are challenged by demanding open borders and offering sanctuary to those who break the laws. History is rewritten to paint America as a racist society instead of a beacon of democracy.
These attacks and libels used to germinate in academia and mainstream liberal media, but now they are prevalent in entertainment, social media and politics as well. As columns on education demonstrate, they even appear in early childhood education.
The late Jeanne Kirkpatrick lamented the “blame America first” crowd and the Presidency of Ronald Reagan seemed to quell the impulse to bash and libel our nation. However, behind the scenes “community organizers” were plotting the revival of the radical left which is back with a vengeance. In their effort to destroy the presidency of Donald Trump, even legislators and candidates now openly slander and libel our nation. Rsk.
