The all but abandoned concept of America is that it is a huge melting pot where all sorts of different people of different backgrounds, races, religions, etc come together and blend all of those differences into one in which we embrace the culture and history of the United States as well as ADD to it.
Yeah, the reality is there is a group inside the United States who want to tear down / destroy our history, our culture, our faith, and everything that reminds us of them...to impose THEIR desires on America / Americans instead of embracing our culture and past and build upon them.
Trump Administration Urges Supreme Court To Protect Cross-Shaped War Memorial
"The Trump administration filed an amicus (or “friend of the court”) brief Wednesday urging the Supreme Court to protect a 93-year-old war memorial in Bladensburg, Maryland, that is shaped like a Latin cross.
The court will soon decide whether the cross-shaped World War I memorial violates the First Amendment’s ban on religious favoritism.
The justices agreed to take the case on Nov. 3.
“Cases like these cannot help but divide those with sincerely held beliefs on both sides,” the brief reads. “This case presents an opportunity for the Court to adopt a standard for establishment clause challenges to passive displays that will reduce factious litigation, provide clarity to lower courts, and promote consistency across cases.”
The administration then offers a solution to that problem: It urges the justices to resolve public display cases with reference to the practices of the founding fathers. The brief favorably cites the high court’s approach to a 2014 case called Town of Greece v. Galloway. In that case, a five-justice majority said the town board of Greece, New York, did not violate the Constitution by opening monthly public meetings with a prayer.
“While the Latin cross may generally serve as a symbol of death and memorialization, it only holds value as a symbol of death and resurrection because of its affiliation with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ,” the decision reads."
