Oh, yeah? Greenwich Democrats have been busy lately attacking Republican candidates for "inventing" charges that our schools have a far-left agenda. I disagree.

High School football team’s 9/11 banners upset woke educator

Simple gestures by the Irvington High School football team to honor fallen 9/11 first responders during a varsity game on Sept. 10 thrust an affluent Westchester suburb and its educrats into a politically-correct frenzy. 

Before kicking off their season opener against Cold Spring’s Haldane HS, the Bulldogs paid their respects by slapping American flag stickers to their helmets and running onto the field with two players holding large flags.

One carried Old Glory, while the other player carried an American flag with a blue stripe — the banner associated with the “Blues Lives Matter” movement that supports police. In a video, fans can be heard cheering the Irvington players, who ultimately lost 21-14.

A month later, Irvington Union Free School District superintendent Kristopher Harrison ripped the patriotic play in a letter to the school district. 

While the Irvington coaches said they had no intention of “inject[ing] a politicized sentiment into our community,” Harrison wrote in an Oct. 12 letter to district families, the actions “caused concern and harm to some members of our community.”

“Controversial, politicized messages are not representative of the inclusive, welcoming community that we seek to be,” the letter said.

An email later sent by Harrison individually to people who responded to his letter clarified that “for community members of color, seeing the blue line flag on school grounds conjured up frightening emotions of events such as those that occurred in Charlottesville [Va.].”

“But, but, that’s all the way over in Irvington, not here in Greenwich!” Project Veritas has exposed that lie. Modern American educators are ashamed of America, and won’t be satisfied until a great reset has occurred, a transformation of the public from free-thinkers to docile subjects, a transformation that will only be complete when the nation’s children have been thoroughly indoctrinated into the new way of thinking.

As an example of what “these people” are up to, consider this: Only 39% of Americans can even name the three branches of government, let alone explain them and their purpose; 22% can’t name a single one. And those numbers are for adults, many of whom were educated in an earlier time; how many of today’s high school students have learned anything about our constitution, or why it established three branches of government, each to check the power of the other? How many know anything at all about our country, except that it was founded on slavery, Lincoln was a racist, and all white Americans are marked with the sign of Cain? Yet how many 1st graders know that there are an infinite number of genders?

All is proceeding as planned.
