Editor:

Thank you for publishing Its time to start resisting the crusade to erase history (June 20).

This column by Christine Flowers reflects the opinion of many, and it comes at a time when many in positions of influence are afraid to express it.

Were told that violence is peaceful, the flag is racist, our anthem is racist, everything must be erased from history, police deliberately look to kill blacks, politicians suck up to thugs and vandals and the list of absurdities goes on. And politicians and people with influence embrace it. The media reports all this in a favorable light, so it is refreshing to see an article with some sanity.

I am grateful to Flowers for writing it, and I urge her to continue to write on the anti-Orwellian philosophy she expressed. I hope we see more of this.
