Response to criticism of ‘We Believe’ sign

My favorite sign is "Trump 2020".

Mr. Crabbe, if you need to explain your interpretation of BLM, then your message is lost. All Lives Matter. All men are created equal, if you’re an American citizen. By definition, illegal means not an American. Science is real, unless you manipulate data to show supposed global warming. Three million years ago, temperatures and CO2 levels were higher, but there were no humans driving cars, no plastic, no air conditioning, and no aerosols. You’re better off getting a Trump 2020 sign, so you can be on the right side.

Hello, David

Thanks for taking the time to write a letter to the editor. Yes, Matt did criticize the "We Believe" sign. I agree with him on some of his points, but I'll now speak for myself.

Let's talk about that sign. Specifically...

Black Lives Matter: racial equity message... yes; movement... no. I disagree with the movement's Marxist underpinnings, calls for defunding police, and killing police officers (loudly articulated by the movement's most vocal adherents). Interestingly, dismantling the American family has been deleted from the movement's list of core beliefs.

Women's rights are human rights: a not too thinly veiled affirmation of abortion. It's a woman's choice until that other "human" is viable outside the womb. What about the unborn human's rights?

No human is illegal: support for open borders pure and simple.

Science is real: until it isn't. Let's manage power production to reduce greenhouse emissions... OK... unless it's nuclear power (which produces zero greenhouse emissions).

Love is love: Matt responded to this item by saying, "God is love." He's correct. Love is not rioting in the streets.

Martln Luther King is always an inspiration.

Here's a question... what are the origins of the sign? It started showing up in public school classrooms at least two and a half years ago. It is a statement of the California Teachers Association's core beliefs. Those precepts are printed above the image of a schoolhouse with CTA's logo prominently displayed. Now, I'm OK if every teacher in the state agrees with those beliefs, however, it is pure leftist indoctrination to post those signs inside classrooms for the purpose influencing impressionable minds. Do you think there are any other points of view or beliefs expressed in this way? This will produce a generation of young people who will be nudged away from learning how to think and will be expected to act based on the way they're supposed to feel. The way they were taught to feel by posters promoting a leftist agenda.

Sorry, gents... gotta go. I'll check back in, but it will be late in the day.

Fake News is the news about a fake.
