The decline in family unity, the absence of Christian moral values being explicitly accepted in our schools, the decline of individual responsibility for commitment to self-improvement through responsible participation in one’s schoolwork, false theories about human intelligence, and undue dependence on computer-assisted learning are together responsible for our failing education system.
E. Jeffrey Ludwig, The Slow Decline of Public Education
The left has done a very good job of infecting America with an existentially dangerous strain of cultural nihilism. Millions of American students have been taught to hate themselves and their ancestors, and some people believe that taking pride in their heritage is no different from white supremacy. It may seem convenient, perhaps even wise, to compromise on something like statues of Robert E. Lee. But remember, when they go after statues of Lee, they’re not trying to right historical wrongs or give a voice to the oppressed. They’re trying to destroy American history and the American people along with it.

It’s no secret that the left wishes for the destruction of the American people. Mass Third World migration, abortion on demand, and the transgender insanity all represent policies pointed toward that end. Tearing down statues also represents an attempt to destroy the American people, to sever the links between the American people and their forefathers.

Those on the left who call Robert E. Lee a traitor and call for statues of him to be torn down have no interest in the historical facts or good faith debate. They only want to sow strife and division within America, so it’s not worth it to engage them on the merits of the argument. It’s all a ploy anyway. They wish to leverage the destruction of statues and American history into political power. Historical nuance and complexity are inconveniences to these people, roadblocks on the path to their political goals.
Leftists don’t really care about racism or slavery or justice. They only care about tearing down America’s history and its heroes, about destroying the common history and identity that make America what it is. A nation without a common history or identity is no nation at all, and that’s the left’s ultimate aim.

The virtues of men are of more consequence to society than their abilities; and for this reason, the heart should be cultivated with more assiduity than the head.
Noah Webster (1788)
We are watching a civilization decide whether it still believes in moral truth at all. A culture that abandons virtue for outcomes, truth for narrative, and conscience for consensus does not drift gently into decline; it slides into something colder and harder, where power masquerades as compassion and coercion is baptized as care. Once “fairness” replaces goodness, literally anything becomes permissible in its name.
Michael Smith, A Civilization Losing Its Moral Compass
