“Form of Child Abuse”: The President of the United States sees protests against racism as a sign of indoctrination in schools. Parents are also convinced that they should be ashamed of their “whiteness.” It tells how you want young people to “love” America.
METERAmid the debate on racism and discrimination in the United States, President Donald Trump creates a commission to promote patriotic education. The riots in American cities in recent months are the result of “decades of left-wing indoctrination in our schools,” Trump said. Try to make the students ashamed of the history of the country. This is “a form of child abuse,” Trump said.
The president spoke at the National Archives in Washington on the 233rd anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution. He specifically accused Radical Democrats and the media, among others: they tried to indoctrinate school children and convince their parents that they should be ashamed of their “whiteness.”
The commission formed by presidential decree should change that: “Our youth will be taught to love America with all their heart and soul.” The body should encourage educators, among other things, to teach students about “the miracle of American history.”
In his speech, Trump called the measures against systemic racism divisive. When the United States was founded, an “unstoppable chain of events was set in motion, as a result of which slavery was abolished, civil rights were won, communism and fascism were defeated, and the most just, most righteous nation was built. egalitarian and most prosperous in human history. “
Trump did not mention the nearly 250-year phase of slavery in North America. He also ignored the ongoing protests by the “Black Lives Matter” movement against racism and police violence.
Before the US presidential election on November 3, Trump and his Democratic challenger Joe Biden take clear positions on different sides of the debate. Earlier this month, Biden spoke of the United States having to face its “original sin” of slavery and its consequences. Trump always denied that there was structural racism in the United States or in institutions like the police.
