The new Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission’s guidelines that have resulted in the cancellation of reenacted battles at Bushy Run Battlefield is a classic example of unelected “woke” appointees mandating their insecurities upon us without any public input (“Bushy Run Battlefield reenactment canceled amid new state guidelines,” Jan. 28, TribLIVE). This is yet another attempt to sanitize and erase our real American history. The commission members must be challenged and removed from their protected public positions. Who are they, anyhow, to mandate our local history?
This is how creeping socialism works. A little more control here and a little more there, and next thing you know, we become a different country with the wokies in control. That’s when the hammers will fall.
Where are our state representatives and senators? It’s well past time that they review and regulate the explosive growth of these quasi governmental agencies. Stop the endless fundraising, and start reining in the beast that they created.
Why must I ask these questions?
