OPINION:
As the Biden administration plots to propagandize our children, a la “1984” and the Ministry of Truth (“Mayorkas targets kids in bid to tackle dangerous ’disinformation,’” Web, May 23), parents can only wonder what today’s truth might be versus yesterday’s, as seen through the administration’s prism.
Yesterday’s truth on America’s founding was Pilgrims, patriots and First Amendment freedoms; today’s truth is the 1619 Project and slavery.
Yesterday’s truth was freedom of the press; today’s truth is freedom of The Washington Post, MSNBC and Twitter and Facebook oligarchs.
Yesterday’s truth was individual conscience; today’s truth is government coercion.
Yesterday’s truth was sacred marriage between a man and woman; today’s truth is secular marriage of anyone or anything.
Yesterday’s truth was the right to life; today’s truth is the right to kill for convenience.
Indoctrination campaigns, court-packing schemes and the casting off of congressional constraints of compromise all mark this administration as an existential threat to truth, democracy and freedom itself.
