BEHIND THE BADGE WHY IT’S TOUGH BEING A COP

Today, the nature of warfare has changed drastically, and technology plays a key role in shaping warfare tactics.

Younger generation is being raised to hate America Recent riots, violence and corruption remind us that America is far from perfect. Patriotism, however, does not claim a country is without flaws. In fact, many people who identify as patriotic do not always feel proud of their government, their fellow citizens or even themselves.

Patriotism treats one’s country like a family member — you love it simply because it is yours, and that love motivates you to mend any imperfections. Today, that motivating force is rapidly receding.

But there’s nothing new here. The medieval philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas once observed, “Love follows knowledge.” Love of country is no different; I believe our lack of patriotism stems from a lack of knowledge.

founding in favor of more “inclusive” events.

It’s time to stand up for our history ! You can’t love what you don’t know. When young Americans say they aren’t proud of their country, it proves our education system has failed them.

And that’s why university officials lash out at President Donald Trump’s still vague calls for “patriotic education” in our schools.

I gathered with the entire student body of Wyoming Catholic College on Sept. 17, 2019, for a mandatory celebration of Constitution Day. We began with the Pledge of Allegiance, witnessed a lively panel discussion between professors on the history and modern relevance of America’s founding principles, and concluded by singing patriotic songs.

If you are a student at a typical American university, that description probably sounds foreign to anything you have experienced. Anti-Americanism has spread across college campuses like a wildfire, igniting rage and resentment against anything perceived as oppressive — even the American flag. As a result, most universities would likely shy away from a celebration of our nation’s 4

Ashamed of America?

In a Gallup poll this past June, only 63% of U.S. adults say they are either “extremely proud” or “very proud” to be American, the lowest level of patriotism ever recorded since Gallup first asked the question in 2001. Among members of the younger generation, the youngest surveyed, patriots are in the minority. Only 4 out of 10 respondents ages 18-34 claim to be extremely or very proud of being American.

Standardized testing:University of California ordered to drop SAT, ACT scores in admissions. That’s a good start.

Unfortunately, many people do not believe that America is worth loving. This position is certainly understandable.

A 2016 report from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni found that more than two-thirds of top U.S. colleges do not require history majors to take a single course on United States history. Instead, several colleges require history majors to “complete coursework on areas outside the United States.” This trend is disturbing, to say the least. This standard for history education is a cafeteria-style menagerie of classes that emphasize a global timeline over the events that have shaped America. Without knowledge of our country’s particular history, we lose a sense of our shared identity and its characteristic values, including perseverance, integrity and freedom.

The problem extends well beyond a simple lack of information. A 2019 Title VI complaint filed against UCLA alleges a professor cited “killing people, colonialism and white supremacy” as American values. On the contrary, they are stark departures from the goals of freedom and equality lauded in our founding documents.

Some professors, however, are actively attempting to supplant the historical reality of those documents and the context in which they were written. In August, Adam Kotsko, a history professor at North Central College, tweeted that “the design and effect of the Constitution,

The Military Press Newspaper May 1, 2021

www.militarypress.com

in all its iterations, has been racist.” He later added, “Same for capitalism, by the way!”

Continued from page 3

These assertions strike at the very root of the American story and threaten to undermine an appreciation of its true values and goals.

Education begins early Now, even before college, children’s minds will be indoctrinated with this alternative version of history. The 1619 Project, for example, includes a new grade school curriculum that “aims to reframe the country’s history” by placing slavery and its consequences “at the very center of our national narrative” and make 1619, rather than 1776, our nation’s founding.

In this paradigm, our Constitution was carefully crafted to protect the institution of slavery, which was also (in this retelling) a major motivation for the Revolutionary War. To be sure, slavery is an important part of our nation’s history and must be honestly addressed and taught, but this is a misrepresentation of the facts and detracts from that objective, as many prominent historians have argued.

A 2014 revision of the College Board’s Advanced Placement U.S. History framework was no better, as it omitted any mention of key American figures such as Benjamin Franklin and James Madison from history. And the 19 sample examination questions disproportionately emphasize class struggles and discrimination, reinforcing a negative view of U.S. history as the framework’s dominant theme.

Thankfully, after much well-deserved criticism, the College Board revised the framework in 2015.

Promoters of these curricula may argue that we need to understand the flaws in American history and its leading figures. This is true, but the American story and its flaws, like any individual person’s, should be presented in light of its inherent goodness. The United States isn’t perfect, but its imperfections are only a small part of an overall narrative that has championed individual freedom and increased prosperity for all its citizens.

Some colleges offer a holistic perspective of American history and honor our characteristic values. If you are a proud American, consider supporting or sending your children to these colleges and aspire to continually fulfill the mission of our Constitution’s preamble: to “secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”

The stakes are higher than ever, and we hold the nation’s fate in our hands.

the same about police relations with blacks. This perception varies dramatically by the race or ethnicity of the officer. Six-in-ten white and Hispanic officers characterize police relations with blacks as excellent or good, a view shared by only 32% of their black colleagues.

The racial divide looms equally large on other survey questions, particularly those that touch on race. When considered together, the frequency and sheer size of the differences between the views of black and white officers mark one of the singular findings of this survey. For example, only about a quarter of all white officers (27%) but seven-in-ten of their black colleagues (69%) say the protests that followed fatal encounters between police and black citizens have been motivated at least to some extent by a genuine desire to hold police accountable.

And when the topic turns more broadly to the state of race relations, virtually all white officers (92%) but only 29% of their black colleagues say that the country has made the changes needed to assure equal rights for blacks. Not only do the views of white officers differ from those of their black colleagues, but they stand far apart from those of whites overall: 57% of all white adults say no more changes are needed, as measured in the Center’s survey of the general public.

Officers worry about their safety (130 officers dead so far this year ) Encounters between blacks and police have dominated the headlines in recent years. But the story took on another twist with the ambush-style attack that killed five police officers last summer in Dallas. Because these attacks occurred while the survey was in the field, it was possible to see if safety concerns of officers were affected by the incidents by comparing views before and after the assault.

Overall, the vast majority of officers say they have serious concerns about their physical safety at least sometimes when they are on the job. Some 42% say they nearly always or often have serious concerns about their safety, and another 42% say they sometimes have these concerns. The share of police saying they often or always have serious concerns about their own safety remained fairly consistent in interviews conducted pre-Dallas to post-Dallas. While physical confrontations are not a day-to-day occurrence for most police officers, they are not altogether infrequent. A third of all officers say that in the past month, they have physically struggled or fought with a suspect who was resisting arrest.

In conclusion put yourself in an officers position “ You pull someone over and they become angry, belligerent ,confrontational, fail to provide identification and resist arrest “ What would you Do ?

The most expensive coin in the world was sold for more than $7 million. The 1933 Double Eagle was a $20 U.S. coin made of gold that never went into circulation.

A few of the coins were made, but most were destroyed—save for nine that were presumed stolen by U.S. mint workers.

After years circulating the globe and falling into the hands of a few notable owners—including the king of Egypt—one of the coins was auctioned off at Sotheby’s in 2002 for a stunning $7,590,020. That made it the most expensive coin ever sold at auction.

“Look at their reserve, their calm,” muses the Brit. “They must be British.”

The woman’s husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day. One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.

As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, “My dearest, you have been with me all through the bad times.

When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here.

“I think you’re bad luck.”

“Well” said the man, “ She’s just a weeeeee bit, not that you can hardly notice, but pigeon-toed.”

When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the man, “Sorry, sir, but you’re only allowed one seat.”
