Francis Scott Key is canceled

Francis Scott Key is canceled
Opinion by Madeline Fry Schultz
 •
5h


Some middle school students are taught about Francis Scott Key, learning how he penned what would become the national anthem after watching the stars and stripes wave despite British bombardment during the War of 1812.

In Montgomery County Public Schools, however, they’re learning that Key was just a racist slave owner whose time has come to get canceled.
 
Activists are pushing to rename Francis Scott Key Middle School in Maryland, one of several schools in the district identified as being named after slave owners.

In 2019, MCPS launched a review of all school names in the county so that the school board could determine if any of them were problematic. The school system identified six such names: Magruder, Thomas S. Wootton, Richard Montgomery, and Montgomery Blair high schools and Francis Scott Key and John Poole middle schools. This November, the school system concluded listening sessions on whether to act on a petition to rename Magruder High School. Key could be next.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Damn right they are attempting to cancel America.

They keep forgetting to consider what the alternative would be ... just another $h!th0le country.

Liberalism NEVER tries to build on something already in place and make it better.  Their tactic is to destroy what is in place, start over, and hope for the best. 22222frying pan
