Memorial Day Alert – Demonstrating how far American patriotism has been decimated by a wave of leftist ‘woke’ indoctrination in our schools and society, students and other people walking around the Georgetown area of Washington, D.C. this past weekend, signed a fake petition ahead of Memorial Day to ban the holiday honoring our war dead for glorifying ‘American Imperialism.’
Fox News reported:
The petition, authored by Campus Reform, a conservative news site and higher-education watchdog, calls for support to ban Memorial Day in the U.S. for glorifying “American Imperialism.” Campus Reform reporter Addison Smith interviewed those who signed the petition in a video published on the outlet’s website.
See the video here.
In the video, one young man told Smith that he thinks Memorial Day is “a celebration of U.S. imperialism and colonialism,” adding, “It’s not an attack on any individual but more of a system.” When asked to expand on his thoughts about imperialism, the young man says:
I didn’t really think in this way until I went to college and I took women’s and gender studies classes and that put me on this path where I’m like, yeah, f–k the U.S.
For me, I was on this spirituality-type journey where we’re all one or whatever and what I was learning in social justice was the material analysis I needed to practice what I feel like exists on a spiritual plane in real, everyday life.
The young man then says “yes, please,” when asked whether he’d want to completely abolish the U.S. military.
Fox News concluded by noting that “one woman declined to sign the petition because she did not want to have one of her ‘bank holidays’ revoked, adding that the holiday should instead be rebranded as ‘something else’ that celebrates ‘something worthwhile instead of imperialism.’
Another young woman said: “If we’re going to honor and celebrate the dead, I think it should be those who lost their lives to genocide in America.”
In response, Fox Nation contributor and retired Marine bomb technician Joey Jones told “Fox & Friends Weekend” that one of the young men in the video he called “children,” appeared to be about the same age as he was when he fought in his first war. Jones added:
Have you ever seen the movie ‘Frozen’? I’ve got a 2-year-old daughter. I watch it a lot more than I want to,” Jones said, making an analogy. “There’s a snowman in the movie ‘Frozen,’ and he’s so stupid and ignorant to the world around him, he can’t wait until summer. He sings a whole song about summer, and he’s a snowman.
Comparing these ignorant woke children in the video to the ‘Frozen’ snowman, Jones said the U.S. Marine Corps represents the protections the military provides the country that, adding that the only thing keeping the snowman’s face from melting off is a “Disney princess (the United States)… and a cloud of snowflakes” (the freedoms our military provides) constantly falling on the snowman, keeping him alive.
Well said, Jones. Semper Fi!

What a bunch of IDIOTS. THESE CHILDREN NEED TO BE SET STRAIGHT, THE FREEDOMS THEY ENJOY WAS PAID FOR ON THE BACKS OF VETERANS!!!! You don’t get to say the drivel you’re spewing. HOW DARE YOU!!!
They need a foot in their asses
As Toby Keith said ” a boot up their ass”
They learn how to be naive and unaware of the dangers that some countries pose to our people. They don’t understand that you don’t have any opinions in some countries.If the government wants to they will drag you out of your house and bury you alive. When they speak they don’t understand how foolish they really are. Failed school system.
This is incredibly eye opening. Time to hunker down. Unbelievable that Biden does not build anything, just tears down Trump’s doings.. 57 executive orders to kill jobs and hurt union workers, to drive up the price of oil, to make USA less competitive by choking off the oil. This is only 4 months of Biden. How can it continue?
Idiots support Biden
Scary as hell. Please don’t let these idiots be the future of our country.
so this was kind of a joke by Campus Reform to see what kind of answers
they would get from these ignorant college kids—the only college these
kids should be going to is Hillsdale!! Good one guys!!
Ungrateful POS!
The only solution to the problem of our misguided and spoiled youth is mandatory military service for all. People today seem to think that defending our way of life is best left to someone else. The cream of our young people proudly serve, leaving the whey to stay behind and invent problems like “white privilege”, needing cry rooms, needing participant trophies and the rest of their left-wing, pansy, can’t decide on a gender world. Let them learn what our nation is about. If they don’t want to serve, well we have an open border on our southern flank. Let them leave and express their concerns to the cartels.
Those children need to be sent to countries where they are nothing but a number to be forced to work for pennies per day. China is a perfect example, if they don’t work the guards beat them.
Need the draft back for both men an women and no exceptions. These little slimey need to be straighten out.
I would agree except the military is going full “woke” now so the military is just another indoctrination center for those who didn’t go to college.
This younger generation is bunch of Crybabies and Morons.
America, Love it or Leave it, nobody is locking you up to stay here!
The 2020 lockdowns showed what is happening in schools. When on line learning came into being, parents were told not to listen in! One parent didn’t listen to this stupid instruction and was horrified at what her child was hearing. Organize home school groups with good Christian families and teach your children Gods ways, not satans
Oh just go back to your mother’s basement!
The real question we need an answer to is “Where do these folks get their ideas about Memorial Day ?”. Start there to change their impression of the many lives that were lost protecting their right to be so wrong.
Sad indeed that the indoctrination of our youth at virtually all levels in the so called “educational “ system is destroying our Republic!
Trump was rebuilding the nation with great insight, purpose, initiative and care. Any demented fool like Joe Blow can cancel and destroy. Yet Joe Blow is not in charge. His KEEPERS are hiding like Polonius behind the arras. Time for Hamlet’s dagger!
Just shows college is ruining our youth. Put these kids in the armed forces in the middle of a war and on the front lines.
They do not need to stay here. They are free to leave. But, if they stay, they need to get a job, ya bums.
Did these woke children not learn anything about American history, i.e., Memorial Day, D Day, Pearl Harbor, in Junior or High school before being turned into these America hating zombies?
And this is our youth and young idiots of tomorrow , they have no idea of how stupid they truly are, total brainwashing by these leftist socialist commie loving teachers! All younparents out their DON’T let them indoctrinate your kids, I have 16 in schools from preschool to college they will here the truth not leftist cancel culture CRAP!
