CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 27, 2023
THE WASHINGTON POST USED TO BE A PRETTY GOOD NEWSPAPER BEFORE SUCCUMBING TO ITS INTERNAL DEMONS AND BECOMING A MOUTHPIECE FOR ALL THINGS DEMOCRAT.
A COLUMN IN YESTERDAY’S POST ASKS A QUESTION: “WHY ARE REPUBLICANS SO AFRAID OF CONFRONTING AMERICA’S RACIAL PAST?”
FIRST, THEY ARE NOT AFRAID, BUT AS IN FLORIDA, THEY WANT IT TAUGHT PROPERLY AND FULLY. IF THE OPINION WRITER IS SERIOUS, I’M WONDERING IF HE WOULD RECOMMEND TEACHING THAT THE KU KLUX KLAN WAS FOUNDED BY A DEMOCRAT; THAT IT WAS DEMOCRATS WHO CR ATED JIM CROW LAWS THAT SOUGHT TO PREVENT BLACKS FROM VOTING; THAT IT WAS DEMOCRATS WHO OPPOSED CIVIL RIGHTS LEGISLATION IN THE 1960S AND 70S; THAT DEMOCRATS OPPOSED INTEGRATING PUBLIC SCHOOL; AND STILL TODAY, IT IS DEMOCRATS WHO OPPOSE SCHOOL CHOICE, WHICH WOULD FREE ESPECIALLY POOR AND MINORITY CHILDREN FROM THEIR FAILED PUBLIC SCHOOLS, GIVING THEM A CHANCE FOR A REAL EDUCATION.
IT WAS DEMOCRATS WHO CREATED A WELFARE SYSTEM THAT ADDICTED PEOPLE TO WELFARE AND NOT WORK AND IT’S DEMOCRATS WHO ARE FINE WITH THE DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF BLACK BABIES ABORTED EVERY YEAR.
THAT WOULD BE A BALANCED APPROACH TO TEACHING ABOUT AMERICA’S RACIAL PAST, WOULDN’T IT? I’M CAL THOMAS.
