This loathing of Western civilization and America is behind two recent trends: athletes not standing for the National Anthem and refusing to honor the American flag, and the desecration and tearing-down of statues, murals, and portraits that commemorate famous historical figures such as George Washington, Winston Churchill, and Christopher Columbus. For social justice ideologues, these icons of Western civilization and American history are not heroes but villains who perpetuated systems of violence, oppression, and bigotry.
This book is just getting absurd now.
