If you’ve been paying attention over the last couple of years, you’ve seen how woke ideologies are ripping through all aspects of society from the K-12 education system to colleges, the military, and our local, state, and federal governments.
If you haven’t been paying attention, Harvard-educated House GOP Chair, Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) thrust this into the spotlight and is finally taking some action. Her brave questioning of several U.S. college presidents in Washington, D.C., exposed the rot that has formed at many of America’s most respected education institutions.
And now this is extending beyond the GOP. Bill Ackman, billionaire and longtime Democrat donor, recently told the New York Magazine that his daughter was indoctrinated at Harvard University saying in part “She became, like, an anti-capitalist. Like practically a Marxist.”
Bill’s comments reflect the pain that many parents from around the nation are feeling who have watched their sons and daughters return home from college not smarter, more cultured, or more business savvy, but brainwashed on many issues that go against the values in which they were raised as children.
What should terrify all parents, is that this is not an uncommon scenario in today’s world where a young man or woman goes off to college with a deep love for America only to come home on spring break with a new mindset: burn America to the ground.
U.C. Berkeley’s School of Law allegedly created a “Zionist-free zone” where anyone who supports Israel is not allowed to enter. On another side of the same campus, Jewish students were recently forced to to barricade themselves inside because of a angry mobs trying to attack them.
Through a strategic plan to completely infiltrate our education systems, we have seen innocent children grow up to become unrecognizable anarchists on campuses across our nation. What should scare us even more — today’s protesters will become tomorrow’s prosecutors.
And it doesn’t stop there. Innocent, moldable minds that have been hijacked by woke ideology are the future of our healthcare system, government, judicial system, and yes, those in charge of educating generations to come.
President Donald J. Trump has always said, “They aren’t after me, they are after you.” But it doesn’t stop there — they are after an entire generation.
As a former intelligence officer and prosecutor, this problem is much deeper than meets the eye.
For years, this has been quietly driven by weak college presidents who can’t find the moral courage to unequivocally condemn Anti-Semitism and tenured professors turned political activists with a single mission — to brainwash the minds of our nation’s future.
This hate-filled culture is not enriching life on college campuses. Why are the leaders of higher education allowing this to take root and more importantly, who is funding it?
And it’s not just in higher education where the destructive woke ideologies have taken root. We now see them on full display in the U.S. military where recently, radical U.S. airman, Aaron Bushnell, quite literally set himself on fire outside of the Israeli Embassy in the United States to protest the American government’s support for Israel.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices have transformed into a Marxist value system and the consequences are detrimental and our recruitment is suffering immensely.
Traditionally, the U.S. military has been revered for its focus on meritocracy and unity of purpose. Recruitment was based on the principles of honor, duty, and patriotism, with individuals from diverse backgrounds coming together under the shared goal of defending their country. However, the rise of Marxist initiatives has shifted the focus away from these core principles, prioritizing identity politics over the fundamental qualities necessary for military service.
DEI initiatives have fostered a toxic environment within the military, where divisive identity politics take precedence over unity and cohesion. Rather than fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose, these initiatives have sown discord and resentment among service members, undermining morale and eroding the bonds of trust that are essential for effective teamwork in combat situations.
It is imperative that we recognize the dangers posed by Marxist initiatives all throughout our society and take decisive action to reverse this damaging trend. Instead of focusing on divisive identity politics, we must reaffirm our commitment to meritocracy, unity, and shared purpose.
From all aspects of our education systems to our military to our government leaders, one thing is for sure; woke ideologies are destroying the fabric of our great nation and they must come to an end once and for all.
And in Congress, I will fight to save our children and our national security. I will use all means possible to form a task force to investigate this problem, find out who is funding it and make sure that our youth once again believes in one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
