THE GREAT REPLACEMENT THEORY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED!
State Representative Josh Schriver of Oxford, Michigan, demonstrates to us all the need for the study of Black history and other diverse cultures in the most culturally diverse nation of the world. Unfortunately, his voice can be heard in too many state legislative assemblies across the nation. As a so-called Christian, I am sure Representative Schriver knows the scripture found in Matthew 15:18, “the things that come out the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.” In observing Black history, which is really American history celebrated all year round, I am reminded of the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “there is little hope for us until we become tough-minded enough to break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and downright ignorance.”
