George Floyd’s death sparked the flame of outrage over racial injustice and police brutality, but political correctness is creating a raging inferno that threatens to engulf the nation.
This Way Lies Madness The Summer of Hate Meets the Age of Intolerance By John Whitehead - The Rutherford Inst.
“Violence creates many more social problems than it solves…. If they succumb to the temptation of using violence in their struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and our chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos. Violence isn’t the way.” — Martin Luther King Jr. Marches, protests, boycotts, sit-ins: these are nonviolent tactics that work. Looting, vandalism, the destruction of public property, intimidation tactics aimed at eliminating anything that might cause offense: these tactics of mobs and bullies may work in
the short term, but they will only give rise to greater injustices in the long term. George Floyd’s death sparked the flame of outrage over racial injustice and police brutality, but political correctness is creating a raging inferno that threatens to engulf the nation. In Boston, racial justice activists beheaded a statue of Christopher Columbus. Protesters in Richmond, Va., used ropes to topple that city’s Columbus statue, spray-painted it, set it on fire and tossed it into a lake. Columbus’ crimes against indigenous peoples throughout the Americas are well known. In San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, protesters tore down
a statue of Francis Scott Key, who penned “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Key was also a slaveholding lawyer who tried to prosecute abolitionists vocally opposing slavery. Activists who object to Yale University being named after its founder Elihu Yale, a slave trader, are lobbying to re-name the school. Administrators at Woodrow Wilson High School in Camden, N.J. - named after the nation’s 28th president, who guided the nation through World War I while upholding segregation policies are now looking for a new name.

Practice Social Distancing If you are around other people, keep 6 feet between you when possible. Avoid hugs, handshakes, large gatherings and close quarters. Why? The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-toperson. When someone coughs or sneezes, they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth, which may contain the virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the coronavirus if the person coughing has the disease. Wear a Cloth Face Cover In Public Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others and out in public, such as the grocery store. Do NOT use a facemask meant for a healthcare worker, and don’t place a cloth face cover on young children under age 2, anyCOVID-19, Page 8A
