In a recent column for the Washington Times, Dr. Everett Piper, one of the nation’s most perceptive cultural critics, starkly blames the nation’s educators for the ongoing chaos in our cities.
Here’s an excerpt:
“If the burning cars, destroyed monuments and broken windows in Minneapolis, Seattle and New York haven’t caught your attention, what will? If tearing down statues of Frederick Douglass isn’t a bridge too far, what is?
“Our culture is collapsing right before our eyes, and it is clear where the responsibility lies. Our nation’s educational establishment is to blame.
“If we don’t admit this and admit it now, our country and culture are lost.
“John Adams once wrote, ‘Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.’ He knew that for any nation to survive, it must have a moral and religious glue to bind it together, or it will die for lack of definition.
“It will suffer the fate of the Bolshevik, French or Cultural Revolutions. It will fall for the lies of the likes of Robespierre, Lenin or Mao.
“The American experiment was and is the singular exception to the guillotine and the gulag.
“Why?
“Because ours was a revolution driven by the Creator rather than the created. It was a revolution grounded in self-evident truths rather than self-righteousness arrogance. It was a fight for liberty rather than license. It was a battle for freedom rather than safety, for principles rather than power.”
What should patriotic Americans do in the face of what amounts to a communist revolution?
Dr. Piper is the author of the national best-seller “Not a Daycare: The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth.”
Everett Piper served as president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University for 17 years, during which time he led his school from relative obscurity to a position of national recognition and influence.
