Memorial Day and the Woke Divide
A Clean Burn
By Jim Reynolds
I woke up today with two heavy thoughts. One was about the country. The other was personal—but not just mine. It belongs to millions of Americans who feel it, too.
Today is Memorial Day—a sacred day to honor those who gave everything to defend the United States of America. Not an abstraction. Not a slogan. But the real country—founded on liberty, built on sacrifice, held together by shared values and the blood of patriots.
But today, a hard truth is staring us in the face:
Memorial Day no longer fits inside Woke America.
The Woke ideology that’s taken hold of our culture doesn’t honor sacrifice—it sneers at it. It doesn’t revere freedom—it tries to redefine it. It doesn’t respect this country—it seeks to dismantle it, brick by brick, value by value.
Instead of the Stars and Stripes, they run up the trans flag.
Instead of honoring our troops, they chant slogans for Hamas.
Instead of fairness, they cheer when boys shatter records in girls’ sports.
And they do it all while calling themselves “decent.”
But the deeper betrayal runs even colder.
Across this nation, families are being fractured—not by politics, but by ideology. Children are taught to see their parents as backward. Lifelong friends grow silent. And patriotic Americans—many of them veterans—are shunned, silenced, or pushed aside for refusing to bow to the new script.
This is an inversion of the American spirit. And it’s not accidental.
Our institutions of higher learning have become factories of contempt—teaching young adults to despise the very nation that gave them the freedom to speak. They don’t teach history. They erase it. They don’t teach patriotism. They mock it. And when these students become teachers, they carry that poison straight into our public schools—where Memorial Day becomes just another awkward “problematic” holiday.
This is not just a cultural shift. It’s a controlled demolition of national memory.
If Woke ideology is allowed to win—if this acid continues to eat away at our schools, our communities, and our families—then we must face a terrifying truth:
The hundreds of thousands of fallen American soldiers will have died for a nation that no longer exists.
Let that sit with you.
Memorial Day was never about division. It was never about grievance. It was about remembering what matters—and honoring those who proved it with their lives.
So today, we have a duty. Not just to remember—but to rise.
We must resist the erosion of honor.
We must challenge the indoctrination.
And we must reignite the American spirit—before it’s too late.
We don’t owe the Woke our silence.
