A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing


This radical Marxist ideology that I know so well from the WWII generation of my parents and their family is strikingly and frighteningly similar to what my generation of baby boomers experienced unknowingly and surreptitiously under the guise of social justice in my grad and undergrad studies and in education in general in the 60's and 70's and especially during President Obama's 2 terms in office as our government was dictating more and more what needs to be forcibly taught to our students. It is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing account of what has been happening to us. It finally makes sense to me! I always knew it viscerally and intuitively but now I actually understand how it evolved and that even the Catholic Church was gullible and duped by radicals such as Saul Alinsky in every sense of the word and now we are A CULTURE OF DEATH as St. Pope John Paul II coined it! How sad that Oprah shockingly said that my generation should die sooner so that racism would be eradicated! What a horrible mindset to have and to unabashedly share it publicly with the world. Shame on her! Ironically, she is demonstrating a lack of open-mindedness, charitable love and wisdom which she supposedly espouses. After interviews with my daughter that I have participated in with the WWII Generation, there is no group that best reflects a love for faith, family, country, freedom and love for humanity. They view all human beings with dignity because they inherently believe that we are ALL made in the image and likeness of God inclusive of the unborn, the sick, the , disabled, the marginalized, the poor and the elderly... ALL OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS especially the most vulnerable! Our young people are vulnerable, too because they are made ignorant by the limited and controlled college curricula that have been progressively omitting great Western literature art, philosophy and history topics that are invaluable. The past is ignored and only the present is emphasized! Eventually, the great contributions of Western Civilization will be so obscure that no one will even know that they existed. As an educator I have noticed little by little that it is trendy to belittle the accomplishments of Western individuals and culture in an attempt to be politically correct. People, even in academia, sometimes seem more eager to highlight the negative than the positive. In a field of research where objectivity is one of the highest goals, it is evident that historical revisionism has become dangerously biased and ridden with falsehoods. Furthermore, I am saddened that media outlets and TV networks like the History Channel have so much influence over the average person's perspective of history. Conspiracy and fringe theories are being given legitimacy in favor of popularity and ratings. Unknowing consumers, especially young minds are taking sensationalist opinions as fact and ignoring the decades and centuries of legitimate research already done in these fields. There are fewer and fewer people who stand against such sensationalist history and defend objective historical knowledge.
The documentary, "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing"  really moved me and I guess the question is: Who are the wolves in sheep's clothing today?

This blog which I wrote in 2020 is even more true now than ever before as we experience what just happened in the last week. There are so many wolves in sheep's clothing on the radical Left. The immense distrust of this current administration and establishment.
