Trump demands 'patriotic education' in U.S. schools
Source: Politico
President Donald Trump said Monday that the nation must restore patriotic education in schools as a way to calm unrest in cities and counter lies about racism in the United States.
Trump blamed violent protests in Portland, Ore., and other cities in recent months on left-wing indoctrination in schools and universities, while accusing his Democratic presidential challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden, of giving moral aid and comfort to vandals.
Many young Americans have been fed lies about America being a wicked nation plagued by racism, Trump said during a news conference. Indeed, Joe Biden and his party spent their entire convention spreading this hateful and destructive message while refusing to say one word about the violence.
Trumps solution: Children must be taught that America is an exceptional, free and just nation, worth defending, preserving and protecting, he said.

FUCKING MORONS like Doturd would be manning a time share booth on a street corner in Queens, rather than screwing up the United States government.
DONALD TRUMP IS THE FUCKING DUMBEST AMERICAN IN HISTORY.
His followers are either RACISTS or R******* (IMBECILES) , or both.

I have no use for Trumps fantasy. I very much prefer what we are now, and I love the fact that we continue to strive to be better.

(2,187 posts)schools but you seem to forget that little 250years of Slavery in the USA and the following 90 years of Klan, Jim Crow, Grandfather Clause, Literacy Tests and abject racism across America since you came into office. You disparage veterans, you want protesters roughed up by the cops when the cops are shooting people in the back, when they have a no knock warrant for the wrong house and kill a woman with no weapon in her hand, you belittle a family who's Muslim son paid the ultimate price for the freedom you DID NOTHING TO EARN YOU COWARD! You have a Secretary of Education that fawns over private schools and institutions shortchanging my Title One high school full of Brown, Black, Yellow and white kids. May you rot in hell you stain on America.

(12,712 posts)Chairwoman DeVos will be charged with setting up mandatory indoctrination and reeducation classes for all students in all grades in order to bring Big Bother's absolute and unquestionable American truths to light in order to inculcate patriotism and national pride into the minds of the Homeland Youth Corps.
We can then completely erase the doctrine of lies and historical revisions inserted by the devious and soulless socialist members of Antifa for decades in order to fully cleanse our great nation of the filth and degradation they have shamelessly polluted our country with again and again. The time has come to purge this evil completely and without mercy. Their party is over.
From there, we will create a strong, invincible, indivisible force for one party unity and sanitized political purity that will last a thousand years once the enemy that spreads erroneous thoughts and promotes subversive perversions is rooted out and eliminated entirely. We can not falter or hold back now for the fate of our great regime is at stake and, for the love of Big Bother, we will march forth triumphantly across the land with bravery and relentless vigor!
The malignant cancer of the treasonous leftist paradigm will be cut out completely with the scalpel of law and order no matter how much blood is shed in this great cause. We will teach the children of this country about their true heritage and shape their minds and direct their wills to the love and service of Big Bother and all he stands for.
Together, we are the unbreakable bundle of sticks on which our chosen one stands before all, bringing fear and disgrace to those who would oppose him.
Make America Clean and Pure Again! Victory over the false Americans is ours!

He wants children raised on nationalist bullshit. Seems like he's been watching cartoons again! Like this one, although the message is lost upon him:

But if you come out against this stuff you sound "unAmerican."
He keeps blaming the protestors. Does he really think that if the protestors pledge the flag every day that they won't notice things like systemic racism (which is getting them killed), lack of access to affordable health care (which is getting them killed), lack of access to affordable housing... oh and Covid-19 (which is GETTING THEM KILLED!) ?
