Younger generations are not as patriotic as our parents and grandparents. Recent polls reveal that the percentage of Americans who are proud of their country has declined over the last several decades. Sadly, the fault does not lie with our children, but rather with their education.
The gradual adoption of critical race theory in our public schools and universities is one of the main drivers of that decline. The growing support of it over the years has led to a one-sided education that has taught our children many of our nation’s sins, but very few, if any, of its virtues. This miseducation has led to a generation that would not be able to pass the U.S. citizenship test.
It’s clear our nation is at a crossroads, one with which I’m too familiar. As the 70th anniversary of the armistice of the Korean War approaches, I’m reminded of my time as a young artillery officer in the U.S. Army, through which I was stationed in South Korea supporting a tank battalion near the Demilitarized Zone in 1989.
As my family and I celebrate the Fourth of July as proud Americans, we do so rooted in the experiences of history. The history of our family, our nation, and the price that’s been paid for our freedom and that of other nations. I know our friends in South Korea will be celebrating with us too.
