Critical race theory

To the editor:

The American Indian knew very well the intent of European expansion upon her sacred lands.

With bows drawn, her fields were plowed under by a people in their pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness, as if a constitutional directive had been given to them by the creator to plant their lands with the seeds of American virtues.

Led by the marriage of politics and religion, America has divorced herself from the truth and given her allegiance to God and country through the concept of Manifest Destiny: When our cause is just, then conquer we must, even if it’s against one another.
