Falling Into the Same Trap


Too many times over the past several years I've seen examples of liberals labeling conservatives with broad terms that apply to anyone who doesn't think the same way they do; claiming we're racist, fascist, bigots who only deserve to be annihilated for committing "hate crimes".

But Prager U's most recent video about progressive ideology at colleges and universities seems to clearly fall into the same trap of the left's broad stroked accusations in "Dangerous People Are Teaching Your Kids".

Here's what the introduction to the video states:
You are currently funding some dangerous people. These people are indoctrinating young minds throughout the West with their ideology that’s built on resentment. In this video, Jordan Peterson, Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto, explains who they are and how American parents and taxpayers have found themselves funding this dangerous gang of nihilists.
While I agree with the concepts and  claims presented, I disagree with the fact that he fails to point out that there are still a few exceptions of conservative, or surviving "Kennedy type Democrats", who understand our freedoms and liberties are in danger from these nihilists who've infiltrated our institutions of higher learning. 

These rare individuals with the fortitude to stand up against such threats to free speech and diversity of ideas have been under attack for defending our long held values by these very people. Yet, this fact is completely ignored in this video.

Why do I make this point? Because, as a conservative all my life, I experienced this circumstance as a career educator. I watched it creep into the K-12 level of our public school over the length of my 30 years in the classroom. It was disturbing to watch as administrators gradually eradicated our long held values in exchange for producing the "snowflakes" and "sheeple" which now dominate our social situation today, rather than the reasoning, critical thinkers who understand the concepts behind our country being the magnet to the rest of the world's people.

Socialist/Communists have long practiced implementing five, ten, and twenty-five year plans with specific goals to accomplish within a certain period. This evil force appears to have successfully managed to destroy much of our American culture developed over the last two hundred years.

Whether our current leader and his administration will succeed in stopping this movement is something only time will reveal. 

BTW... for a different perspective of falling into the same trap, I highly recommend watching this video. It will make you think where our culture is going.
