“Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him.”
~ John Locke
In mid-September, the White House began canceling “critical race theory” training programs by government agencies. All the perverse training was canceled immediately in an Executive Order.
Yesterday, on Monday, President Trump signed an Executive Order on Establishing the President’s Advisory 1776 Commission.
The text is long and substantive. It criticizes current educational trends, provides a definition or patriotic education, and supplies the vision to bring it about or back.
Trump’s EO strongly criticizes “polemics grounded in poor scholarship” that vilify “our Founders and our founding.” He is likely thinking of Communist Howard Zinn and the insane 1619 Project.
“Despite the virtues and accomplishments of this Nation, many students are now taught in school to hate their own country, and to believe that the men and women who built it were not heroes, but rather villains,” the EO continues. The order rakes this approach over the coals for a time, then says, “Failing to identify, challenge, and correct this distorted perspective could fray and ultimately erase the bonds that knit our country and culture together.”
Dealing with race, he writes, “our country’s valiant and successful effort to shake off the curse of slavery and to use the lessons of that struggle to guide our work toward equal rights for all citizens in the present.”
One would think we didn’t fight a Civil War or do anything for that matter. President Trump praises Martin Luther King Jr. and his vision.
Trump emphasizes our God-given natural rights.
The EO warns, “Without our common faith in the equal right of every individual American to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, authoritarian visions of government and society could become increasingly alluring alternatives to self-government based on the consent of the people.”
The EO continues, “it is necessary to provide America’s young people access to what is genuinely inspiring and unifying in our history, as well as to the lessons imparted by the American experience of overcoming great national challenges.” An “informed and honest patriotism is essential for a successful republic,” this part of the EO concludes.
He does not want a national curriculum or an imposition of a national standard on the united states. He is opposed to the Common Core and to “all efforts to have the Federal Government impose a national curriculum or national standards in education.”
He calls on local communities to reassert control over the curriculum.
In recent remarks, the president touted an NEH grant to American Achievement Testing (AAT), a group planning to design a new American history curriculum to challenge the troubling approaches now dominant in American education.
Just signed an order to establish the 1776 Commission. We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students, and restore PATRIOTIC EDUCATION to our schools!

WE ARE NOT A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS. WE ARE A NATION OF AMERICANS
Finally, someone said it at long last. We are not a nation of immigrants. We are a nation of Americans. Once you become a citizen, you are an American – period. We are one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Trump says America is a country of Americans & rejects the ‘nation of immigrants’ myth.
Joe Biden says Americans are merely immigrants & their country is only an idea.
Hmm. Do shareholders ever hire CEOs who insist they don’t own the company?https://t.co/JvZcK1QY7o— Neil Munro (@NeilMunroDC) October 27, 2020
We are the United States of America, and we are Americans! Love the Constitution, our rule of law, and love true Americans.
“The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings, capable of laws, where there is no law there is no freedom.”

If you understand Mandarin and can read it，let’s take a brief look at the mainstream Chinese media and the mainstream Chinese websites to verify whether what I’m about to say is true or not .
90% of the Chinese population believe, and they have been brainwashed to believe by their government through its state-run media and education system，that American founders were a group of villains，who instructed the massacre of supposedly ‘tens of millions’ of Native Americans，some even claim billions ，and are responsable for the Triangle Trade and the enslavement of hundreds of millions of Africans，that the United States of America was founded as an evil entity by such a group of evil people，that USA has been launching wars against other nations and invading them for resources and for global domination during most of the 244 years since its founding in 1776 ， and that America is behind every protests from Belarussia to Thailand，every war from Syria to Azerbaijan，which are aimed at overthrowing “peaceful” “successful” local governments that “threaten” “American hegemony”.
They have been made believe these ridiculously distorted theories and they have been purposefully instructed by their government to hate the USA because it’s so “evil”.The anti-American sentiment in these authoritarian countries is very strong and very general among the population. They have also been made believe the American type of Constitutional Republic with democratic general election is such a failed system that it cannot deal with Covid and racism against black minorities and many other problems.
All the information people there can get are extremely biased and one-sided. Most of them are basically fake news just like what the American fake news media are producing . People there are only informed of all the negative information about America by the mainstream state run media outlets and school subjects ，and everything else is censored there. These things are deliberately done by their government ， so the people will not admire America and its far better system，so they would not pose any threat to their authoritarian rule.This has been going on ever since the 1950s ，and they are not satisfied with brainwashing and misinforming their own domestic population，but they have been promoting this view worldwide for a long time.
So what’s going in America today is merely the result of their gradual influencing and infiltrating throughout the decades.One example and evidence for this is Chairman Mao when he was alive tried very hard to ideologically infiltrate the Black Americans and tried to unite them under the cause of so called “class struggle” of communism ，which happend during the Civil Rights Movement in America in the 1960s.
They don’t believe in co-existance.Their eventual goal is to gradual influence over the foreign countries and， at some point，the overthrow of democratic constitutional republics around the world，to transform them into their own image， in order to secure their own existence and legitimacy domestically .
Leninist governments are by their nature anti-American ，and there is absolutely no way any perpetual solid friendship and peaceful co-existence can exist between them and the republics governed by constitutional generally elected form of governments such as the USA. There are only delusions of it，and such delusions are deliberately created. What they are doing now is to pretend to be harmless and friendly toward the USA and its values ，they pretend to be ok with co-existence with the western constitutional democratic form of government and law-ruled republics ，so they could “buy time”，because they are not so strong yet，but buying time they will eventually be strong enough one day.
The Democrats are fooled ，the establishment Republicans are fooled ，and more than half of the American population are fooled. Donald Trump and his administration is the only one in more than thirty years who cannot be so easily fooled and he really can make a difference. At present ，he is the only choice we have and he is the only one who can reverse the tide ，to save America ，and save the world.
There is still much to be done to reverse the tide ，and to verify and neutralize C C P influences & infiltrations ，but let us remain optimistic，because Liberty and Common Sense shall always prevail !
