In my opinion, a MAJOR problem is that Americans need to teach American Reverence/Pride in this country. Teach in schools what it means to be American and to be proud of all that our forefathers fought for. Our way of life is due to the sacrifices of people before us. All their efforts should be respected and cherished.
If people had more pride in this country and what it stood for, I dont think you wouldnt have idiots trying to champion people from other countries breaking our laws.
What do you think?

- Mr. Martin and the Mourner’s Bench It was a mechanics bench – until yesterday. Then the mechanic left. Today, Mr. Martin is mourning at that empty bench. Because Mr. Martin’s car needs a new bearing. And a mechanic to install it. Neither are available. So Mr. Martin will simply have to arrange for other transportation. If he can. We’re all close to Mr. Martin’s mournful state, with our cars’ averaging 7 1/2 years of age. With 47 out of every 100 mechanics gone to war – and car replacement parts difficult or impossible to get – we’re in danger. In fact, a crisis in national transportation is close. Fortunately, we have two champions to help us fight our battle. Champion number one is the service station man, skilled at nipping trouble in the bud, at beating off wear with his grease gun. Champion number two: world-beating American lubricants. Such as Veedol Motor Oil – pride of the 100% Pennsylvania crudes. And the five never-failing Veedol chassis lubricants. ….. 1945 Veedol Motor Oil War Bond Ad, A5781. 19450618

you can’t teach that! you can’t teach someone to love anything! if you try, it’s called propaganda.
I agree, but Liberals wont allow it, and I’m sure the ACLU would throw a major fit.
Thats a huge part of Americas problem.
When I was in school, we called that history and social studies. The problem is that recent events have lost us so much respect from the rest of the world and ourselves. You can love your country and still not be proud of where it is going.
Look around at the mess with living examples in Iraq.
Look who could not solve the mess they created in own backyards back in the past being expose with time after the mystery of us-911.

I agree that students should be taught that, despite their flaws (like owning slaves, trampling native rights, mysogany, imperialism), our Founding Fathers were brilliant thinkers who created a country in which people could be intellectually free and free to build their own fortunes, and for generations each child can do better than her parents. That’s pretty much unbeatable anywhere else in the world.
But that has NO connection to “trying to champion people from other countries breaking our laws.” In fact, it’s almost the opposite. Wasn’t the idea that America is built on the backs of immigrants? Almost no one is “from” the United States. It’s a land of opportunity, NOT built on a monarch, or a landed upper class, or being of a particular religious affiliation, but just built on the ability to work hard. That’s what being proud of America means.
If today’s teachers knew what this country stood for, they wouldn’t be preaching socialism in the classrooms. If you want your children to know what they’ve lost, you’ll have to teach them at home.
Once upon a time, they did. When I was in elementary school, we started each day with the pledge of allegiance and (gasp) the Lord’s prayer.
Thanks to Madeline Murray O’Hair, we cannot pray in school now, and many on the uber left have pushed it so we cannot pray at all in public.
Most teachers belong to the NEA, which is one of the most leftist, out there groups in the country. So patriotism is not an option now. It is more like the teacher out in Colorado who subjected his students to a 30 minute rant on why he hates Bush. Or the teacher who made her class write a letter to President Bush, telling them that they must say in it they were against the war. One girl wrote her opinion in her letter, saying she supported him. She got a failing grade.
The socialists have taken over our schools.
I used to be proud to be an American and I still think America is the best place to live.
But right now, the face we show the world makes me ashamed. We’ve gone from proud to arrogant and that’s wrong.
Maybe a little less pride and a little more hard work, respect for the rest of the nations in the world and honesty would restore what you are looking for. We don’t need more pride, we need more work at keeping the ideals our forefathers fought for. Then maybe we’d have a reason to be proud again.
