Our nation stands at a crossroads—not just politically or economically, but culturally. Americans cherish our parks, monuments, and historic sites, sinking billions into preserving these symbols of our past. Yet when it comes to what truly shapes our identity—the arts, music, language, and history—we’re dangerously neglectful. We’re pouring fortunes into government agencies designed to maintain buildings and landscapes, but billions are tight-fisted when it comes to funding cultural education. This gaping imbalance isn’t a coincidence; it’s a symptom of a broader crisis born from liberal neglect and globalist indoctrination that’s eroding the foundation of our American identity.
Look at our children. They are fed a steady diet of social media nonsense—rap, rock, and pop pandering to fleeting trends and celebrity worship—without a clue about the music that built this country or the history that made it great. They can’t name our founding fathers, but know the Kardashians by heart. They have never read a real book unless assigned; critical thinking has been cast aside for ideological fluff and Marxist propaganda. Public schools, once bastions of knowledge, are now indoctrination camps pushing revisionist histories and dumbed-down curricula. And higher education? It’s a cesspool of woke ideology, hostility to Western culture, and a direct threat to free thought and honest inquiry.
Charles Holbrook – Cultural Conservation: A Challenge for Our Time…It's never too late for a revival of Cultural Conservation.https://t.co/7aTFC8KVFr

Hollywood, New York, and the mainstream entertainment world have become cradles of cultural decay. Instead of uplifting our values or celebrating American greatness, they revel in vulgarity, chaos, and anti-American narratives. These industries don’t preserve our cultural treasures—they tear them down, replacing them with nihilism and social engineering. The government, meanwhile, buries its head in the sand, throwing crumbs at flimsy arts programs while genuine cultural preservation falls by the wayside.
But there is hope rising from unexpected places. A few unsung heroes understand that the cure to our cultural collapse isn’t more government handouts or empty speeches—it’s motivated self-education and intentional action by parents, grandparents, and communities. They recognize that true cultural conservation means teaching our youth the fundamentals: the beauty of classical music, the power of the written word, and the pride found in understanding our nation’s true history. It means rejecting the relentless social media distractions and ideological poison spreading like wildfire. It means reclaiming language, art, and respect for our shared heritage before it vanishes completely.
If freedom is indeed one generation away from extinction, so too is our culture. Conservatism isn’t just about politics; it’s about protecting the story of America from those who would rewrite it for their selfish agendas. So the real question is this: Will Americans rise to the challenge and become cultural warriors, or will we allow the current tide of incompetence and anti-American bias to drown the very soul of this country? The choice will decide the future of our nation long after the latest election cycle fades into memory.
