RUSH: We have repeatedly said, ladies and gentlemen, that these protests and riots are being led by college-aged kids who literally know nothing about American history. They have not been taught the truth. This is key to understand. They have not been taught the truth of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, the founding, and then made up their minds that they think these guys are reprobates and creeps.<\/p>\n

\"\"They\u2019ve not been taught the truth. They have been propagandized and indoctrinated from the get-go. They have been filled with hatred, pure and simple. But they think that they\u2019ve been taught the truth, finally, that 200 years, 240 years of education in this country was a lie and that the period of time they\u2019ve been in school was the truth.<\/p>\n

But the fact of the matter is — and this is very important — they haven\u2019t been taught the truth. They\u2019ve not made up their minds independently of anything. They have been propagandized, and they have been indoctrinated. They\u2019ve been taught to hate America. And it has to be pushed back against. It can\u2019t be tolerated.<\/p>\n

To push back against it is said to be divisive. What are we supposed to do? In the name of tolerance just sit here and accept the lies that these kids have been taught? Accept the lies as a sign of tolerance or unfairness or what have you? How is it divisive to stand up for the truth? So Trump stands up for the truth, stands up for the truth of the country, the greatness of the country, and he\u2019s divisive?<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s not tearing down statues. Trump is not defacing relics. Trump is not trying to damage or erase our history. He\u2019s trying to restore it and maintain it. That\u2019s divisive? How in the world does Black Lives Matter escape the characterization of divisive? How do any of these left-wing protest groups escape that they are the ones who are divisive?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s obvious some of our schools and universities have become some of the most anti-American places on earth. Indoctrination centers for anti-American propaganda. Campus Reform, great website<\/a>, they went out and spoke with young American students ahead of the Fourth of July to see what they knew about the holiday.<\/p>\n

And even though most of the students that Campus Reform interviewed said that America was a racist country, most of them couldn\u2019t answer even the simplest questions about Independence Day. They didn\u2019t have any idea. Fourth of July, had no idea what it was. College people. College educated people. Students were asked, for example, what the holiday commemorates. They were asked which year the country declared independence. They were asked which nation the United States declared independence from and which was fought for American independence, what war.<\/p>\n

Many could not answer any of these questions. Some answered that America gained its independence in the twentieth century. Others said the corresponding war was the Civil War, World War I, World War II. They had no concept of – (interruption) How do you get into college and not know it? Because the SATs have been corrupted, because the entrance exams have been corrupted to coordinate with what people have been taught in high school.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s a concerted effort. Do you know the name Howard Zinn? Howard Zinn is the author of the textbook used all across America. The guy\u2019s a Marxist. He hates America. He always has. How it became the number one textbook, I\u2019ll never know. Well, the answer is obvious. The leftists are everywhere.<\/p>\n

Our education system is lost. We have totally, totally lost it. And during these two generations of loss, we\u2019ve had American parents striving, sacrificing to come up with 40 grand, 50 grand, 30 grand a year to send their kids off to be propagandized. And they\u2019ve done it with pride. They\u2019ve done it with great pride, that they\u2019ve been able to get their kids into these colleges.<\/p>\n

We are looking at, folks, a massive failure of the American education system. Or you could look at it the other way. A triumph. These people are showing what\u2019s possible when you get hold of the education. Imagine if genuine American-loving patriots had been in charge of the education system for the last 50 years.<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t have been necessary to even elect Trump. That\u2019s not a put-down. I\u2019m just telling you, Trump would not have been unique. Make America Great Again would not have been necessary. People would have believed that that was the objective every day and they would have believed that we\u2019ve met the objective.<\/p>\n

And now we\u2019ve got teachers — I read teachers in northern Virginia — i.e., Washington suburbs — are demanding hazard pay for the coming school year. Teachers who have been doing nothing since March want hazard pay. They want special pay. People stocking shelves in grocery stores and trucking and delivering supplies all over the country, they haven\u2019t made such demands.<\/p>\n

Teachers, hazard pay? Because, what? The virus? Where\u2019s your commitment, teachers? You people have been — look. I know there\u2019s exceptions, don\u2019t misunderstand. But how many times have you heard a caller to this program, a teacher, a conservative in either a high school or a college, and they whisper, and they tell us they\u2019re using a fake name \u2019cause they don\u2019t want to be identified.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always a renegade conservative professor somewhere at some university, some college, some high school. We hear from \u2019em. I wish I had a dollar for every time I have addressed the issue of our declining education. Because we have seen, folks — as I say, there\u2019s two ways to look at this. You can look at it as the abject failure of the education system or you could look at how they\u2019ve triumphed. They have demonstrated what you can do if you control the education system.<\/p>\n
