In that war, as in every war, we are reminded that we need the bravery and the sacrifice that comes from patriots.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And speaking of 1944, the year of D-Day, we might recall that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0HUf68gFGEE\">opening scene<\/a> of the film <i>Saving Private Ryan\u2014<\/i>before the hellish scenes of the bloody landing at Omaha Beach\u2014starts with an American flag.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Saving Private Ryan opening cemetery scene\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0HUf68gFGEE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>So who, today, will teach Americans about patriotism?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>About the true meaning of Veterans Day?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>We know all too well what the other side is doing; we know, for instance, about <i>The New York Times\u2019<\/i> dishonest and divisive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tag\/the-1619-project\/\">1619 Project<\/a>, which has now worked its way into many school curricula, where it has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tag\/critical-race-theory\/\">joined<\/a> with Critical Race Theory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the voters are rejecting CRT, as they did in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/education\/2021\/11\/03\/virginia-parents-democrats-crt-transgender-policies\/\">Virginia<\/a> earlier this month.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>And yet we must do more than just say \u201cno\u201d to <i>bad<\/i> lessons; we must say \u201cyes\u201d to <i>good<\/i> lessons.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>We need a better, brighter vision.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>So where can we look?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>To whom? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>One such aid is the work of William Damon, a professor of education at Stanford and a fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution. Last year, he <a href=\"https:\/\/fordhaminstitute.org\/national\/commentary\/restoring-purpose-and-patriotism-american-education\">authored<\/a> <i>How to Educate an American: The Conservative Vision for Tomorrow\u2019s School, <\/i>which includes this pertinent point:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"10\">\n<p>Unfortunately, patriotism is not a popular word in education circles. In fact, patriotism is one of the most politically incorrect words in education today.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>If you think it\u2019s hard to talk about morality and values in schools, try talking about patriotism.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Damon adds:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p>To acquire civic purpose, students need to care about their country. As a foundation for citizenship education, schools should begin with the positive and emphasize reasons for caring enough about our society to participate in it and try to improve it.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>In this way, American students and those who teach them can share civic purposes energized by a motivating spirit of patriotism.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If we were to follow Damon\u2019s example\u2014and the guidance of others who share his views\u2014we\u2019d have schoolbooks that give young Americans \u201ccivic purpose\u201d and a \u201cmotivating spirit of patriotism.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>And if the young gain those positive traits, we\u2019d have Americans who, when duty calls, will go rushing to defend the flag and the republic for which it stands.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And so we come back to Veterans Day.
