Fox News
The Left is intent on teaching Black and Brown students that the system is stacked against them, and it is better to live in a perpetual state of victimhood.
Republican Burgess Owens represents Utah's Fourth Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. He is a former Super Bowl champion who played ten seasons in the National Football League for the New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders. Owens is author of "Liberalism or How to Turn Good Men into Whiners, Weenies and Wimps" (Post Hill Press, July 19, 2016).
When I think about my kids' and grandchildren’s future, I imagine a nation well beyond using race as a measure of intelligence and potential. Unfortunately, over the past several years, the political Left has tried to drag us down. They are intent on teaching Black and Brown students that the system is stacked against them, there is nothing they can do to stop it, and it is better to live in a perpetual state of victimhood.
