Letter to Mr. Steller

I wrote this letter because a student disrupted a class where Border Patrol Agents had been invited to attend. Tim Steller, The incident at the U.of A. disturbed me. I read your article with great interest. I believe you covered all the bases. I particularly thought your ending paragraphs were on the point. Perhaps you will be willing to go further. This was just an example of occurrences on campuses all across the country. It is obvious that the youth of America have been brainwashed. Any speaker who might be invited to speak is prevented from speaking if there is a conservative viewpoint. Universities are supposed to be places where young people can learn different ideas while they start to form their lifetime philosophy. No student should be allowed to disrupt a session in process, particularly if not part of the class. It has gotten to the point where I question the value of attending college. I remember Joseph Goebbels saying that if he could have the youth for ten years he could indoctrinate them to follow whatever Hitler wanted to accomplish. This goes both ways. I firmly believe the school systems of today are teaching American history from the viewpoint that our leaders were all bad men because they, for the most part, were slave holders. It is too late to re-write history. What was then is not what is today. They did create the best government ever seen on Earth. Many nations have followed our example. This was not the way my generation was taught. We were proud of our history and the men and women who fought to achieve independence from the most powerful nation on Earth at that time. If the youth of America don’t respect our history why would they care to defend it against all enemies foreign or domestic? The reason a person like Trump could be elected was the frustration of people like me who have given up on politicians, either party, for their unwillingness to find solutions, so many of which are obvious to solve. We will not have this advantage much longer. The youth, the rapidly growing Muslim population, the willingness to throw out the free enterprise system for Socialism and the hatred for Americans who are in the Armed Forces, Law Enforcement, Border Patrol, etc. will see the end of the great American dream. I will probably be gone by then. I write because I care. Jack B. Walters April 14, 2019
