I found this to be both discouraging and encouraging. If past wrongs are not handled correctly, our future, and the future of the world, could have unintended consequences.

American self belief has been undermined for decades by academia, propagated by media, and capitalized on by corporations and politicians.

You are more cynical than me.

I found this column simplistic and superficial.

I teach a class on American mythology. I will use this column as some text to analyze with my students. It will be interesting to hear what they make of it. We have looked at American mythology in depth. It is not easily revered when studied closely.

Remind them of the Monroe Doctrine.

I believe we can, as a nation, recognize our wrongs and faults and try not to repeat them.

Chip, the point was, you cannot allow past sin to keep you from doing the right things now.

Nor can you ignore past sin and continue to do the wrong things now, believing— whether in ignorance or malice— that they're right.

Of course not, but that wasn't the point of the op-ed.:)

Screw the op-ed. I wasn't keen on it, either.

Thanks for the link. I am getting bored at home and because of this I want to read good articles online because it is one of my favorite hobby. In past, I have bunch of assignments to do but then I found https://letsgradeit.com/best-homework-help-websites/ website link online through which I can take help to submit my assignments. Now, I am all free and because of this, I am getting bored at home.
