"I am so sick of the lack of accountability": Glenn exposes huge issues with education system in wake of "horrific" sex ed photos

June 10, 2014

Writer

The media suddenly wants to know did a California middle school take it too far with their sex education class? Honest-to-goodness, that’s what I heard, did they take it too far? Did they cross the line? I know, it’s a super-tough question. The school used a series of posters on the myths of contraception. I can’t even show it.

Supposedly it’s an attempt at humor in the classroom, but it is so vile and so disgusting, especially the other one. This one is so, I mean, porn stars would be repulsed. Jeffy would be repulsed. I’m not even going to try to explain at what this is. It is that offensive, and this was seen by middle schoolers. And it is, it’s beyond reprehensible. And if you really want to know, these are up on TheBlaze.com, but I want to warn you that you’ll never unsee these pictures, definitely never unsee them. But the answer is once you see them, oh yeah, absolutely, uh huh, yeah over the line, so far over the line it’s like I can’t even see…there was a line here someday?

We are so messed up right now, up is down, and down is up. Right is wrong, and wrong is right. If you just turn around right now, the entire country, our society, is going this direction. If you just turned around and went 180 degrees in the opposite direction, you would have a very good shot of being exactly right. The school can’t even decide this themselves. They want parents to know they’re going to review those materials. They’re going to get to the bottom of it. Let me translate, because I’m a recovering alcoholic, so I spoke bull crap for a long time. Let me translate bull crap to English for you. They don’t care. They’re hoping that everybody will lose interest, and they can stop pretending to care.

If I showed you the graphic sexual content, and I went into a middle school, I will tell you that I would most likely be charged with a crime. People would want my mug shot put up on a website warning everybody child abuser, dirt bag lives right here, warning, dirt bag, don’t let this guy in. But teachers, teachers, good teachers, people that we know, are remaining silent because the school board says it’s okay, and they’re using it for educational purposes. Right, it makes total sense, doesn’t it?

I am so sick of the account of - did you see the Diane Sawyer interview with Hillary Clinton last night where they’re like, you know, so you had some responsibility? Hillary Clinton says no, not me. No, I had no responsibility on Benghazi. I’m so sick of the accountability, the lack of accountability from people who are taking our tax dollars to keep us safe or to educate our children, and now they’re well, we’re looking into it. No, they’re not. No, they’re not. They’re not. You know it, and I know it, they’re not. They’re just wearing you down and trying to get you to shhh, quiet. Don’t.

If the government didn’t have a monopoly on education, if parents weren’t trapped and essentially forced to send their kids to public schools, maybe, just maybe, the school would have something to worry about, but they don’t. They don’t. Maybe they’d wake up one day, and they’d go where is everybody? Oh yeah, we meant to tell you, all the parents took their kids to the school down the street because they’re not trying to teach propaganda or show, you know, sick pictures to the children, you know, to turn all the children into sexual deviants or whatever.

Maybe we should stop the sex talk and stop the liberal indoctrination. What do you think? A little competition would be nice, a little choice, and that is exactly why the Republicans and the Democrats are against it. Conform, conform, conform, conform – don’t. We have a system now because of the lack of choice, it breeds incredible arrogance. In the face of the obvious wrong, they’ll say we’re going to look into it. What is there to review? What is there?

It’s child abuse. Fire somebody. I want the names of the people who looked at that and went yeah, that’s pretty good. It was approved by the school board, and then it was taught by the teachers. Are the teachers so worn down now that whatever’s handed to them they just go yeah, and then we’re going to round up all the Jewish kids? I mean, are they that worn down? No teacher said, “Hey, you know, this is really sick”?

I will tell you something, that picture that we didn’t show here, that picture, I wouldn’t even show it to my wife. But if my wife was the educator, if my wife was the teacher, she would have gone to the principal or to the school board or anybody else and said, “What the hell are you thinking?”

Now, they’re saying that this “was not the work of a teacher, but was produced by Mountain Empire Family Medicine.” Oh, okay, so the doctors said it was okay, all right. So they’re okay with sexual material being taught to middle school children as long as it’s done by, you know, medical practitioners. Or is it that they are completely incompetent, and at any moment they could start teaching oh, I don’t know, Debbie Does Dallas, XXXX-rated porn? Eleven-year-olds, they wouldn’t know the difference – hey, movie day. Which one is it?

Should be a little alarm bell that is ringing in everyone’s head, yeah, we’ll review it. You’ll review it? Good grief. Government agencies shut down restaurants for days if the temperature of the refrigerator is off by two degrees, but a school can stay open when it is peddling nasty pornographic material to kids, stuff that you and I would be on the front page of the paper for if we did. Parents should be yanking their kids out of this school, but they won’t. They won’t because we’re taught to conform.

Modern America, we instead argue. Well, what is appropriate content sexually for school? I’ll tell you what’s appropriate sexual content for school, nothing, nothing, zero, none of it. Who on earth thinks it’s a good idea for the government to be in charge of teaching kids when and how they should be using their genitalia? They can’t even figure out the bathroom situation. They’re going to teach my kids what’s right and wrong, really? Really?

They’re the ones who say this is a deadly weapon. Yeah, I’m going to listen to these people. Schools won’t even teach kids, are incapable of teaching people how to manage their personal finances, but they’re going to tell them how to master what’s down in their pants, really? Somehow their duty to instruct preteens on the proper way to do every possible form of sexual activity ever invented, gee, what could I do with this pen, teacher?

I mean, we used to joke, I’ll tell you what you can do with that pen. Now, I think that’s part of the instruction. Think how ridiculous this is that we’ve been told that we parents are not capable of teaching our own children about the roles that sex plays in life, when it’s appropriate, when it’s not appropriate to engage in it. We’re told to hand that task off to an expert from a government institution. What is wrong with us? We accept this. How did it happen? How did it happen?

Progressives, that’s it, progressives, taking control of your children little by little, getting them to conform and you to conform and getting you to be uncomfortable with standing up, I know, shh, don’t say anything, just leave it alone, don’t stand up – stand up. The sales pitch here was well, we needed medically accurate information. Really? Really? I want you to go to the website, and I want you to look at those nasty-ass pictures, and you tell me if that’s medically accurate.

Yeah, and we have to do that because well, kids are going to be kids. They’re going to have sex anyway, no matter how many times people tell them not to, so we have to make sure they do it safely. Good, then I’ll tell you what, let’s bring guns into the classroom, and let’s teach them how to use guns safely. What do you say? We’ll bring the NRA in. Let’s have them teach that because they’re going to do it anyway, right? That’s your theory, not mine, they’re going to do it anyway. Why are you trying to teach them this is wrong if they’re going to do it anyway? Can you answer that? No, no, nope.

Kids will be kids, and I hate that argument. We’re treating kids as if they’re just nothing more than stupid animals. They’re not. They’re unable to exercise any discernment, any self-control. Follow that logic, follow that logic, because if you do, it’s pointless to tell kids to abstain from sex because they’re going to just do it anyway.

Well, why bother to tell them about contraception really because why would we expect them to suddenly listen to that advice when they’re going to do it anyway? Why would we expect them to do anything? They’re going to do it anyway. It’s all a lie. It is a lie. You are capable of teaching this to your children. You are capable as a parent. Kids are capable of making decisions right now on what’s right and what’s wrong.

The government doesn’t even know itself what’s right and wrong anymore. They’re trying to figure it out as they go. You know what’s right and wrong. You’ve been trained to conform. Our kids have been trained to conform. We’ve all been trained we can’t figure it out on our own. It is your responsibility to educate your children, especially on matters of sex or anything else, but we’re trained to think it’s not our job.

The current school model serves to undermine the authority of the parent while elevating the teacher or the policeman or the politician or the nurse or anybody else, just not you. I ask you to strongly challenge the current system. Do not conform. Consider homeschooling if you can if there’s any way. It’s worth selling your car. It’s worth living in a smaller house. Do it. You can do it. But if you do, do not unplug from the school district. You’re still paying for that slop, and those kids are living around you.

We have a responsibility. Don’t let the education of your child begin and end at a government-run school. You will not recognize your kid after the indoctrination for 12 years. You train them up. You raise them up as the right way to go. It’s your job. It’s your right. It is your responsibility. I wasn’t there in the bedroom that night with you guys. You and your husband or your wife were. It’s your job. Mine, my kids. No one can ever take that away from us. We should never give that response away. That responsibility is a profound blessing to each of us.

Shocking shift: America’s youth lured by the “Socialism trap”

Jeremy Weine / Stringer | Getty Images

A generation that’s lost faith in capitalism is turning to the oldest lie on earth: equality through control.

Something is breaking in America’s young people. You can feel it in every headline, every grocery bill, every young voice quietly asking if the American dream still means anything at all.

For many, the promise of America — work hard, build something that lasts, and give the next generation a better start — feels like it no longer exists. Home ownership and stability have become luxuries for a fortunate few.

Capitalism is not a perfect system. It is flawed because people are flawed, but it remains the only system that rewards creativity and effort rather than punishing them.

In that vacuum of hope, a new promise has begun to rise — one that sounds compassionate, equal, and fair. The promise of socialism.

The appeal of a broken dream

When the American dream becomes a checklist of things few can afford — a home, a car, two children, even a little peace — disappointment quickly turns to resentment. The average first-time homebuyer is now 40 years old. Debt lasts longer than marriages. The cost of living rises faster than opportunity.

For a generation that has never seen the system truly work, capitalism feels like a rigged game built to protect those already at the top.

That is where socialism finds its audience. It presents itself as fairness for the forgotten and justice for the disillusioned. It speaks softly at first, offering equality, compassion, and control disguised as care.

We are seeing that illusion play out now in New York City, where Zohran Mamdani — an open socialist — has won a major political victory. The same ideology that once hid behind euphemisms now campaigns openly throughout America’s once-great cities. And for many who feel left behind, it sounds like salvation.

But what socialism calls fairness is submission dressed as virtue. What it calls order is obedience. Once the system begins to replace personal responsibility with collective dependence, the erosion of liberty is only a matter of time.

The bridge that never ends

Socialism is not a destination; it is a bridge. Karl Marx described it as the necessary transition to communism — the scaffolding that builds the total state. Under socialism, people are taught to obey. Under communism, they forget that any other options exist.

History tells the story clearly. Russia, China, Cambodia, Cuba — each promised equality and delivered misery. One hundred million lives were lost, not because socialism failed, but because it succeeded at what it was designed to do: make the state supreme and the individual expendable.

Today’s advocates insist their version will be different — democratic, modern, and kind. They often cite Sweden as an example, but Sweden’s prosperity was never born of socialism. It grew out of capitalism, self-reliance, and a shared moral culture. Now that system is cracking under the weight of bureaucracy and division.

The real issue is not economic but moral. Socialism begins with a lie about human nature — that people exist for the collective and that the collective knows better than the individual.

This lie is contrary to the truths on which America was founded — that rights come not from government’s authority, but from God’s. Once government replaces that authority, compassion becomes control, and freedom becomes permission.

What young America deserves

Young Americans have many reasons to be frustrated. They were told to study, work hard, and follow the rules — and many did, only to find the goalposts moved again and again. But tearing down the entire house does not make it fairer; it only leaves everyone standing in the rubble.

Capitalism is not a perfect system. It is flawed because people are flawed, but it remains the only system that rewards creativity and effort rather than punishing them. The answer is not revolution but renewal — moral, cultural, and spiritual.

It means restoring honesty to markets, integrity to government, and faith to the heart of our nation. A people who forsake God will always turn to government for salvation, and that road always ends in dependency and decay.

Freedom demands something of us. It requires faith, discipline, and courage. It expects citizens to govern themselves before others govern them. That is the truth this generation deserves to hear again — that liberty is not a gift from the state but a calling from God.

Socialism always begins with promises and ends with permission. It tells you what to drive, what to say, what to believe, all in the name of fairness. But real fairness is not everyone sharing the same chains — it is everyone having the same chance.

The American dream was never about guarantees. It was about the right to try, to fail, and try again. That freedom built the most prosperous nation in history, and it can do so again if we remember that liberty is not a handout but a duty.

Socialism does not offer salvation. It requires subservience.

Faith, family, and freedom—The forgotten core of conservatism

Gary Hershorn / Contributor | Getty Images

Conservatism is not about rage or nostalgia. It’s about moral clarity, national renewal, and guarding the principles that built America’s freedom.

Our movement is at a crossroads, and the question before us is simple: What does it mean to be a conservative in America today?

For years, we have been told what we are against — against the left, against wokeism, against decline. But opposition alone does not define a movement, and it certainly does not define a moral vision.

We are not here to cling to the past or wallow in grievance. We are not the movement of rage. We are the movement of reason and hope.

The media, as usual, are eager to supply their own answer. The New York Times recently suggested that Nick Fuentes represents the “future” of conservatism. That’s nonsense — a distortion of both truth and tradition. Fuentes and those like him do not represent American conservatism. They represent its counterfeit.

Real conservatism is not rage. It is reverence. It does not treat the past as a museum, but as a teacher. America’s founders asked us to preserve their principles and improve upon their practice. That means understanding what we are conserving — a living covenant, not a relic.

Conservatism as stewardship

In 2025, conservatism means stewardship — of a nation, a culture, and a moral inheritance too precious to abandon. To conserve is not to freeze history. It is to stand guard over what is essential. We are custodians of an experiment in liberty that rests on the belief that rights come not from kings or Congress, but from the Creator.

That belief built this country. It will be what saves it. The Constitution is a covenant between generations. Conservatism is the duty to keep that covenant alive — to preserve what works, correct what fails, and pass on both wisdom and freedom to those who come next.

Economics, culture, and morality are inseparable. Debt is not only fiscal; it is moral. Spending what belongs to the unborn is theft. Dependence is not compassion; it is weakness parading as virtue. A society that trades responsibility for comfort teaches citizens how to live as slaves.

Freedom without virtue is not freedom; it is chaos. A culture that mocks faith cannot defend liberty, and a nation that rejects truth cannot sustain justice. Conservatism must again become the moral compass of a disoriented people, reminding America that liberty survives only when anchored to virtue.

Rebuilding what is broken

We cannot define ourselves by what we oppose. We must build families, communities, and institutions that endure. Government is broken because education is broken, and education is broken because we abandoned the formation of the mind and the soul. The work ahead is competence, not cynicism.

Conservatives should embrace innovation and technology while rejecting the chaos of Silicon Valley. Progress must not come at the expense of principle. Technology must strengthen people, not replace them. Artificial intelligence should remain a servant, never a master. The true strength of a nation is not measured by data or bureaucracy, but by the quiet webs of family, faith, and service that hold communities together. When Washington falters — and it will — those neighborhoods must stand.

Eric Lee / Stringer | Getty Images

This is the real work of conservatism: to conserve what is good and true and to reform what has decayed. It is not about slogans; it is about stewardship — the patient labor of building a civilization that remembers what it stands for.

A creed for the rising generation

We are not here to cling to the past or wallow in grievance. We are not the movement of rage. We are the movement of reason and hope.

For the rising generation, conservatism cannot be nostalgia. It must be more than a memory of 9/11 or admiration for a Reagan era they never lived through. Many young Americans did not experience those moments — and they should not have to in order to grasp the lessons they taught and the truths they embodied. The next chapter is not about preserving relics but renewing purpose. It must speak to conviction, not cynicism; to moral clarity, not despair.

Young people are searching for meaning in a culture that mocks truth and empties life of purpose. Conservatism should be the moral compass that reminds them freedom is responsibility and that faith, family, and moral courage remain the surest rebellions against hopelessness.

To be a conservative in 2025 is to defend the enduring principles of American liberty while stewarding the culture, the economy, and the spirit of a free people. It is to stand for truth when truth is unfashionable and to guard moral order when the world celebrates chaos.

We are not merely holding the torch. We are relighting it.

Glenn Beck: Here's what's WRONG with conservatism today

Getty Images / Handout | Getty Images

What does it mean to be a conservative in 2025? Glenn offers guidance on what conservatives need to do to ensure the conservative movement doesn't fade into oblivion. We have to get back to PRINCIPLES, not policies.

To be a conservative in 2025 means to STAND

for Stewardship, protecting the wisdom of our Founders;
for Truth, defending objective reality in an age of illusion;
for Accountability, living within our means as individuals and as a nation;
for Neighborhood, rebuilding family, faith, and local community;
and for Duty, carrying freedom forward to the next generation.

A conservative doesn’t cling to the past — he stands guard over the principles that make the future possible.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: You know, I'm so tired of being against everything. Saying what we're not.

It's time that we start saying what we are. And it's hard, because we're changing. It's different to be a conservative, today, than it was, you know, years ago.

And part of that is just coming from hard knocks. School of hard knocks. We've learned a lot of lessons on things we thought we were for. No, no, no.

But conservatives. To be a conservative, it shouldn't be about policies. It's really about principles. And that's why we've lost our way. Because we've lost our principles. And it's easy. Because the world got easy. And now the world is changing so rapidly. The boundaries between truth and illusion are blurred second by second. Machines now think. Currencies falter. Families fractured. And nations, all over the world, have forgotten who they are.

So what does it mean to be a conservative now, in 2025, '26. For a lot of people, it means opposing the left. That's -- that's a reaction. That's not renewal.

That's a reaction. It can't mean also worshiping the past, as if the past were perfect. The founders never asked for that.

They asked that we would preserve the principles and perfect their practice. They knew it was imperfect. To make a more perfect nation.

Is what we're supposed to be doing.

2025, '26 being a conservative has to mean stewardship.

The stewardship of a nation, of a civilization.

Of a moral inheritance. That is too precious to abandon.

What does it mean to conserve? To conserve something doesn't mean to stand still.

It means to stand guard. It means to defend what the Founders designed. The separation of powers. The rule of law.

The belief that our rights come not from kings or from Congress, but from the creator himself.
This is a system that was not built for ease. It was built for endurance, and it will endure if we only teach it again!

The problem is, we only teach it like it's a museum piece. You know, it's not a museum piece. It's not an old dusty document. It's a living covenant between the dead, the living and the unborn.

So this chapter of -- of conservatism. Must confront reality. Economic reality.

Global reality.

And moral reality.

It's not enough just to be against something. Or chant tax cuts or free markets.

We have to ask -- we have to start with simple questions like freedom, yes. But freedom for what?

Freedom for economic sovereignty. Your right to produce and to innovate. To build without asking Beijing's permission. That's a moral issue now.

Another moral issue: Debt! It's -- it's generational theft. We're spending money from generations we won't even meet.

And dependence. Another moral issue. It's a national weakness.

People cannot stand up for themselves. They can't make it themselves. And we're encouraging them to sit down, shut up, and don't think.

And the conservative who can't connect with fiscal prudence, and connect fiscal prudence to moral duty, you're not a conservative at all.

Being a conservative today, means you have to rebuild an economy that serves liberty, not one that serves -- survives by debt, and then there's the soul of the nation.

We are living through a time period. An age of dislocation. Where our families are fractured.

Our faith is almost gone.

Meaning is evaporating so fast. Nobody knows what meaning of life is. That's why everybody is killing themselves. They have no meaning in life. And why they don't have any meaning, is truth itself is mocked and blurred and replaced by nothing, but lies and noise.

If you want to be a conservative, then you have to be to become the moral compass that reminds a lost people, liberty cannot survive without virtue.

That freedom untethered from moral order is nothing, but chaos!

And that no app, no algorithm, no ideology is ever going to fill the void, where meaning used to live!

To be a conservative, moving forward, we cannot just be about policies.

We have to defend the sacred, the unseen, the moral architecture, that gives people an identity. So how do you do that? Well, we have to rebuild competence. We have to restore institutions that actually work. Just in the last hour, this monologue on what we're facing now, because we can't open the government.

Why can't we open the government?

Because government is broken. Why does nobody care? Because education is broken.

We have to reclaim education, not as propaganda, but as the formation of the mind and the soul. Conservatives have to champion innovation.

Not to imitate Silicon Valley's chaos, but to harness technology in defense of human dignity. Don't be afraid of AI.

Know what it is. Know it's a tool. It's a tool to strengthen people. As long as you always remember it's a tool. Otherwise, you will lose your humanity to it!

That's a conservative principle. To be a conservative, we have to restore local strength. Our families are the basic building blocks, our schools, our churches, and our charities. Not some big, distant NGO that was started by the Tides Foundation, but actual local charities, where you see people working. A web of voluntary institutions that held us together at one point. Because when Washington fails, and it will, it already has, the neighborhood has to stand.

Charlie Kirk was doing one thing that people on our side were not doing. Speaking to the young.

But not in nostalgia.

Not in -- you know, Reagan, Reagan, Reagan.

In purpose. They don't remember. They don't remember who Dick Cheney was.

I was listening to Fox news this morning, talking about Dick Cheney. And there was somebody there that I know was not even born when Dick Cheney. When the World Trade Center came down.

They weren't even born. They were telling me about Dick Cheney.

And I was like, come on. Come on. Come on.

If you don't remember who Dick Cheney was, how are you going to remember 9/11. How will you remember who Reagan was.

That just says, that's an old man's creed. No, it's not.

It's the ultimate timeless rebellion against tyranny in all of its forms. Yes, and even the tyranny of despair, which is eating people alive!

We need to redefine ourselves. Because we have changed, and that's a good thing. The creed for a generation, that will decide the fate of the republic, is what we need to find.

A conservative in 2025, '26.

Is somebody who protects the enduring principles of American liberty and self-government.

While actively stewarding the institutions. The culture. The economy of this nation!

For those who are alive and yet to be unborn.

We have to be a group of people that we're not anchored in the past. Or in rage! But in reason. And morality. Realism. And hope for the future.

We're the stewards! We're the ones that have to relight the torch, not just hold it. We didn't -- we didn't build this Torch. We didn't make this Torch. We're the keepers of the flame, but we are honor-bound to pass that forward, and conservatives are viewed as people who just live in the past. We're not here to merely conserve the past, but to renew it. To sort it. What worked, what didn't work. We're the ones to say to the world, there's still such a thing as truth. There's still such a thing as virtue. You can deny it all you want.

But the pain will only get worse. There's still such a thing as America!

And if now is not the time to renew America. When is that time?

If you're not the person. If we're not the generation to actively stand and redefine and defend, then who is that person?

We are -- we are supposed to preserve what works.

That -- you know, I was writing something this morning.

I was making notes on this. A constitutionalist is for restraint. A progressive, if you will, for lack of a better term, is for more power.

Progressives want the government to have more power.

Conservatives are for more restraint.

But the -- for the American eagle to fly, we must have both wings.

And one can't be stronger than the other.

We as a conservative, are supposed to look and say, no. Don't look at that. The past teaches us this, this, and this. So don't do that.

We can't do that. But there are these things that we were doing in the past, that we have to jettison. And maybe the other side has a good idea on what should replace that. But we're the ones who are supposed to say, no, but remember the framework.

They're -- they can dream all they want.
They can come up with all these utopias and everything else, and we can go, "That's a great idea."

But how do we make it work with this framework? Because that's our job. The point of this is, it takes both. It takes both.

We have to have the customs and the moral order. And the practices that have stood the test of time, in trial.

We -- we're in an amazing, amazing time. Amazing time.

We live at a time now, where anything -- literally anything is possible!

I don't want to be against stuff. I want to be for the future. I want to be for a rich, dynamic future. One where we are part of changing the world for the better!

Where more people are lifted out of poverty, more people are given the freedom to choose, whatever it is that they want to choose, as their own government and everything.

I don't want to force it down anybody's throat.

We -- I am so excited to be a shining city on the hill again.

We have that opportunity, right in front of us!

But not in we get bogged down in hatred, in division.

Not if we get bogged down into being against something.

We must be for something!

I know what I'm for.

Do you?

How America’s elites fell for the same lie that fueled Auschwitz

Anadolu / Contributor | Getty Images

The drone footage out of Gaza isn’t just war propaganda — it’s a glimpse of the same darkness that once convinced men they were righteous for killing innocents.

Evil introduces itself subtly. It doesn’t announce, “Hi, I’m here to destroy you.” It whispers. It flatters. It borrows the language of justice, empathy, and freedom, twisting them until hatred sounds righteous and violence sounds brave.

We are watching that same deception unfold again — in the streets, on college campuses, and in the rhetoric of people who should know better. It’s the oldest story in the world, retold with new slogans.

Evil wins when good people mirror its rage.

A drone video surfaced this week showing Hamas terrorists staging the “discovery” of a hostage’s body. They pushed a corpse out of a window, dragged it into a hole, buried it, and then called in aid workers to “find” what they themselves had planted. It was theater — evil, disguised as victimhood. And it was caught entirely on camera.

That’s how evil operates. It never comes in through the front door. It sneaks in, often through manipulative pity. The same spirit animates the moral rot spreading through our institutions — from the halls of universities to the chambers of government.

Take Zohran Mamdani, a New York assemblyman who has praised jihadists and defended pro-Hamas agitators. His father, a Columbia University professor, wrote that America and al-Qaeda are morally equivalent — that suicide bombings shouldn’t be viewed as barbaric. Imagine thinking that way after watching 3,000 Americans die on 9/11. That’s not intellectualism. That’s indoctrination.

Often, that indoctrination comes from hostile foreign actors, peddled by complicit pawns on our own soil. The pro-Hamas protests that erupted across campuses last year, for example, were funded by Iran — a regime that murders its own citizens for speaking freely.

Ancient evil, new clothes

But the deeper danger isn’t foreign money. It’s the spiritual blindness that lets good people believe resentment is justice and envy is discernment. Scripture talks about the spirit of Amalek — the eternal enemy of God’s people, who attacks the weak from behind while the strong look away. Amalek never dies; it just changes its vocabulary and form with the times.

Today, Amalek tweets. He speaks through professors who defend terrorism as “anti-colonial resistance.” He preaches from pulpits that call violence “solidarity.” And he recruits through algorithms, whispering that the Jews control everything, that America had it coming, that chaos is freedom. Those are ancient lies wearing new clothes.

When nations embrace those lies, it’s not the Jews who perish first. It’s the nations themselves. The soul dies long before the body. The ovens of Auschwitz didn’t start with smoke; they started with silence and slogans.

A time for choosing

So what do we do? We speak truth — calmly, firmly, without venom. Because hatred can’t kill hatred; it only feeds it. Truth, compassion, and courage starve it to death.

Evil wins when good people mirror its rage. That’s how Amalek survives — by making you fight him with his own weapons. The only victory that lasts is moral clarity without malice, courage without cruelty.

The war we’re fighting isn’t new. It’s the same battle between remembrance and amnesia, covenant and chaos, humility and pride.
