Fellow American,
They pretend to care for — and have — the moral high ground.
But the radical left can’t claim unchallenged virtue in today’s culture wars. What’s worse, and far more cynical, is that they don’t care to try.
They know they’re hypocrites by the standards of their single-minded pursuit of their extreme, left-wing ideological agenda. They’re counting on mainstream institutions and everyday Americans like you and me to give in to their highly selective, deeply divisive shame campaigns anyway.
Consider just a few institutions of the modern left.
Yale University was named in honor of Elihu Yale, a man who profited from the slave trade and shared those ill-gotten gains with the Ivy League school. Yale has insisted it won’t change its name, and some try to defend the man and erase his sins, too.
Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, whose racism and eugenics support are well-documented by pro-life supporters. Only this week did one Planned Parenthood clinic remove her name from its building.
And the New York Times is owned by the same family whose ancestors were pro-Confederacy slave owners, as the National Pulse thoroughly documented. It’s worth your time to review their report.
Under the leadership of Arthur Ochs, the Times published pro-Confederate and racist stories into the twentieth century, including a tribute to Jefferson Davis as “the great Southern leader” on the 100th anniversary of his birth and an editorial that blasted Republicans for promoting and passing legislation that became the Fifteenth Amendment.
By their standards, the Ochs-Sulzberger family should give up their ownership to the New York Times for free, but you and I know they won’t.
The radical left’s condemnation is saved for people who still believe that honor, character, and virtue matter — people like you and me.
Instead of abiding by their own standards, the New York Times has spearheaded the 1619 Project, an effort to destroy American history and replace it with their own warped, left-wing ideology.
The 1619 Project would have you believe that America was founded to protect slavery in 1619, not to advance God-given rights and self-government in 1776. The 1619 Project began as an essay series in the New York Times, and now it’s a K-12 curriculum and will be adapted for movies and TV.
No history scholar supports the central claim of the 1619 Project, but the New York Times — and their left-wing supporters — don’t care.
Their true goal is to tear down America in the eyes of our children and grandchildren, to make the next generation ashamed of our great nation and its Declaration of Independence, and to re-make America according to their cruel, radical ideology. They won’t let anything stand in their way.
Fellow American, they’re counting on everyday Americans like you and me to stay silent. In fact, they want to scare us into silence while they use their radical standards as weapons that they never apply to themselves.
The American Principles Project (APP) is speaking up against the 1619 Project — and telling the truth about American history.
And, if you’ve signed already, will you share this email and pledge with friends and family?
It’s time for us to speak up with one voice: we won’t bow down to radical leftists, and we will preserve and protect American history.
Thank you.
