Missing from this Hong Kong protest: flags from communist countries and Third World kleptocracies

In the past few decades almost our institutions of higher learning have banished western civilization course requirements and encouraged their students to study the history of the Third World instead so as to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of their cultures and contributions to the world.

Those budding citizens of the Nation of Woke could save countless hours of study (ha ha ha) by merely glancing at the results of this single vote by the members of the U.N. Human Rights [sic] Commission supporting or condemning China’s crushing of Hong Kong’s democracy. With the exception of Antigua and Barbuda, both heavily in debt to and dependent on China, the pro votes came exclusively from countries that don’t trace their roots to western civilization. There’s a lesson here, but it won’t be taught in our schools.
