We all know that we are living in revolutionary times. The origins, ascendence, values, laws, and future of the United States are all under assault by self-described, though accurately described, revolutionaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything from kindergarten messaging, cartoons, workplace reeducation, and television commercials to college admissions, baseball games, and the airlines are to be \u201cfundamentally transformed\u201d along racial lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
