What’s Next ?

What’s next? Apple pie? Thanksgiving?

The left has slowly but steadily gone after things that a lot of us regard as good old Americana. Are they done? Not by a long shot, and that’s why I ask, “What’s next?”
I am assuming that no one needs a review of the push to stop saying “Merry Christmas,” as this leftward push has not been subtle, but there are more encroachments, some subtle and some, not so subtle.
When I was in school, it was called “Easter Vacation” and now it is “Spring Break.” Columbus Day had been a National Holiday, and now in many left-leaning circles, it is now called “Indigenous Peoples Day.” On some T.V. shows aimed at very small children Halloween is now being referred to as “Dress-up Day,” and Valentine’s Day is “Love Day.” (Valentine’s Day was originally named after Saint Valentine and All Hallows Eve, Halloween, refers to the eve of All Saints’ Day.) To the left there can be no reference, no matter how distant, to anything religious, therefore the need to get rid of the names, Valentine’s Day and Halloween. But why would the left stop there? There is a rumor that there is a bill pending in the state assembly of California by a Democrat that proposes to combine Abraham Lincoln’s birthday and George Washington’s birthday into President’s Day and to add May 1 as “International Worker’s Day” (just another way of saying “International Socialist Worker’s Day.” (aka May Day, as is celebrated in communist countries!)
Speaking about things truly Americana, The Boy Scouts have been around since 1910. The Scout Oath begins, “On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout law . . .
But wait, this has a reference to God, so, “sorry, no can do,” say those on the left who
have been working for years to undermine the Boy Scouts. First it was gay and transgender scouts, followed by openly gay scout leaders, and last year it was the welcoming of girls into Cub Scouts and Eagle Scouts. This steady undermining of The Boy Scouts has now resulted in a name change to “Scouts BSA” in 2019. However earlier this month finally some resistance from the Mormon Church. The Boy Scouts and the Mormon Church had initially formed a partnership 105 years ago based on shared beliefs in God, country, and the necessity of teaching morals and responsibility to boys. Despite the fact that approximately 20% of the Boy Scouts in the U.S. are Mormon, in the last five years these two groups have chosen different paths. As a result, the Church of the Latter Day Saints is severing ties with the Boy Scouts at the end of the year. With this loss of a big chunk of its members, I predict that the “Boy Scouts” will go belly-up, and thus another victory for the left.
So I reiterate, “What’s next?”
