Traditions are valuable ways to teach our younger generations about our past and our history. I applaud those who teach the thing to their kids. However, it appears more and more that our nation has quit teaching our children about how we got our freedoms what those are.
As many know we are raising self-entitled uneducated self-centered brats. More and more feel all should be handed to them not working for not earned. Just showing up is enough. This is the American Epidemic that will bring us down. Not Zika, not Japanese Killer Wasp But the generations coming up who don't understand what has happened and how it affects us now. They don't understand hard work, the value of an education.
When an African American Middle School Student tells me: It's African Appreciation Month in January and expects me to give him something for this statement. Yet looks at me with an insane look when I give him facts. February is African American History Month. Not Appreciation, but History Month. The fact those generations who had no rights fought and died so that all would have equal rights. Not so that you can demand things and expect all to drop to your whim.
When a young man tells me I have no right to say the pledge of allegiance because dad fought in the Civil War that freed his mom as a slave. While the fact is I'm sure your dad did not fight in the American Civil War as all of those men have since passed away. I am sure your mother was not a slave in the civil war. I am also positive said child was not involved in the civil war as east and west did not fight and no you did not live in Hawaii at the time of the civil war. I hate to tell you that as Hawaii was not part of the United States at that time.
People Listen to me. This is the same craziness we have in our schools every day. Children more focused on popularity and being rich they don't care about others. Children more concerned with dab, hitting the quad and twerking than their GPA they have, going to summer school and getting good grades.
It is the time we teach them about why we left England, why men and women fought in wars on America's behalf. The difference between
