What multi-culturalism hath wrought: Amazing Race contestants laud Ho Chi Minh

Hanoi Jane Fonda is no match for CBS and The Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan. She paraded around North Vietnam in an enemy tank. He led contestants on his around-the-world adventure to the wreckage of an American B-52, shot down during the Vietnam war. Their "task?" Learn to sing the praises of communist guerilla leader Ho Chi Minh.

Good grief. Did they spend their down-time at the Hanoi Hilton too? What's their next stop? The Katyn Forest?

Sadly this is more of a commentary on our educational system than it is on the quest for ratings at CBS. I suspect no one on staff over there ever stopped to think about what that wrecked bomber represents. Or what it might mean to praise a communist leader under whose banner 60,000 Americans were killed.

Because multi-culturalism says the communists in Vietnam are no different than the Minutemen at Bunker Hill. And because the Marxists in our public schools aren't in the business of praising America or honoring the sacrifices made by our armed forces. Their warped version of history paints the United States as the aggressor, oppressing the peaceful peasants of Vietnam.

When it comes to communism far too many of our elites play See No Evil. These are the people running our government, teaching our children, and yes making reality television shows for our "enjoyment." Their ideology is pure and their propaganda is very slick. And so a bunch of ignoramuses can sing of communist glory while dancing on the grave of brave Americans and not give it a second thought. Winning that million bucks is way more important than having to discern right from wrong.
