| The tragedy last Wednesday night shocked the nation and brought profound grief to hundreds all around the world.
However, just as COVID uncovered the nature of the American classroom to millions of parents, this tragedy has exposed, in a tangible way to every American, the perilous impact of applied leftist ideology.
Last week, we discovered that the WOKE ideology that is casting its shadow over the American cultural landscape has for many years been applied to federal hiring policy for air traffic controllers.
The President made public a January 14, 2025 memo regarding the FAA’s hiring priority’s saying:
The FAA’s diversity push includes focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.
In a second memo, he read to the nation that the:
FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agencies website.
Reports indicate that more than 90% of America's control towers are under staffed. There are currently more than 1,000 FAA applicants who have filed lawsuits against the FAA for being turned away because of race-based hiring.

For the majority of Americans, the President’s inaugural speech awakened the nation from an Orwellian nightmare. (I was relieved to hear that government now recognizes only two genders.). The Wednesday night crash brought to light the degree to which ideology had been translated into policy.
For more than a decade, governmental policy, the courts, the entertainment industry, business, and education have told us what common sense tells us is nothing more than a world of imaginary nonsense akin to Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. |
