This week, as we prepare for the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, a number of memorials are already taking place. And unfortunately, a number of snide and ignorant comments are being made, both by people too young to remember the enormous tragedy of that day and by those whose political agendas would benefit from Americans forgetting or being misinformed about what really happened.
A good example of how leftwing media are attempting to rewrite history is the story of how the Texas Board of Education has approved a “controversial curriculum” tying “radical Islam to 9/11.”
Note the framing: it is simply assumed that that would be “controversial.” Muslim groups such as CAIR (Fun fact: CAIR has been designated as a terrorist organization by both Texas and Florida) protested that this is discriminatory against Muslims. They also protest the part of the curriculum that teaches about the Prophet Muhammad’s “brutal military campaigns against Jewish and Christian tribes,” the “normalization of slavery” and the taking of female captives as “harem slaves,” calling it an attack on their religion. This could also be described as “history.” We’re sure they would be equally outraged at history classes that teach the reality of the Spanish Inquisition.
In fact, tying radical islam to 9/11 should be about as controversial as tying Japan to Pearl Harbor.
And now, to wash that story out of your minds’ eye, here’s a story about President Trump on Tuesday taking part in a 9/11 memorial where he posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Welles Crowther. Known as “the man in the red bandana,” the late equities trader and volunteer firefighter helped rescue 18 people from the South Tower before he was killed in its collapse. If anyone wishes to describe this honor to him as “controversial,” they know what they can do with their objections.
