Donald Trump’s America continues to attempt to persuade us that Charlie Kirk, the slain right-wing instigator, was some form of hero worthy of our reward, adulation, and public recognition. He was not that and he deserves completely nothing, however alas…
According to Yahoo! News, The Department of Education has unveiled a cartoonishly ridiculous banner of Kirk exterior of the federal constructing subsequent to actually educated heroes like Booker T. Washington and Catherine Beecher. These banners are a part of a marketing campaign about “American heroes of training” like Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Anne Sullivan, and Ben Franklin but in some way, Charlie, who by no means completed school, will get to be memorialized subsequent to those titans. Not solely did Kirk not end college, in 2022, he wrote a guide known as, anticipate it…The College Scam: How America’s Universities Are Bankrupting and Brainwashing Away the Future of America’s Youth.
Is the training within the room with us now?
The women and men on the wall subsequent to Kirk stood for the precise reverse of his anti-intellectual agenda. Booker T. Washington was born enslaved and earned his solution to attending Tuskegee University and labored to develop training alternatives for Black of us. Catherine Beecher was as staunch advocate for girls’s training. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr…nicely, the credentials are within the title.
When the web caught wind of this noxious new aesthetic on the DOE, the commentary was pointed, pissed off, and pure comedic gold.
One commenter quipped: “Won’t be stunned if the DOJ hangs a banner of Epstein”.
Another reacted: “A flaming arrow and a bow will maintain that”.
Truthfully, we’re stunned that DOE didn’t unveil this banner with a Wrestlemania-style efficiency of Erika Kirk zip-lining from the roof in a shiny spandex leotard with fireworks and smoking machines. Seems very on-brand as of late.
