If critical race theory proponents were correct, people wouldn’t be risking their lives to come to America.
Monday is Independence Day, the country’s birthday. It used to be a unifying event. A time to set aside political, regional and religious differences. A chance to celebrate the glory of the United States. A day to be grateful for a chance to live in the most free nation on Earth and express pride in being an American.
No longer. Simmering in the background of our political discourse is a fundamental disagreement over America itself. Those who dislike the country are gaining momentum. A recent Gallup poll found just 38 percent of respondents were “extremely” proud to be an American. That’s a record low. Another 27 percent was “very” proud.
Combined, that’s 65 percent. Twenty years ago, it was 91 percent. It remained above 80 until 2017.
