Critical of Critical Critics 0

At The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia’s 2017 Teacher of the Year is taken aback at the movement to forbid the teaching of “critical race theory” in public schools (where, as a matter of fact, it generally is not taught, being largely a topic in academia). Here’s tiny bit from her article (emphasis added):

As a teacher-leader, I am concerned when I listen to the arguments around this topic and read some of the “official statements.” Because it feels like a rush to condemn anyone or anything that seeks to take an objective look at our country. Or to question the way things have been done. Or to seek to make changes. And I wonder why is that.

I commend the entire piece to your attention.

None Dare Call It Treason . . . 0

. . . even though it was.

I’ll say it, even if no one else is willing to.

To quote the Constitution of the United States of America:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

I think it is reasonable to argue that inciting a takeover of the Capitol Building with the intent of overturning the result of a legitimate election falls under the category of “levying War against them.”
