Me love america and the bible and god and jesus. please stand for the flag and support president trump

TP USA is known for many things. Among them, an obsession with wearing diapers to own the libs. In this psuedo-Chapo Reading Reading series, Will Menaker reads an essay from a patriotic member of TP USA. Leandra Lynn (real name) simply wants people to stop kneeling and start standing for the flag. This poor woman was silenced by her liberal college professor. Yet another conservative falls victim to college censorship. How is a young Republican supposed to get ahead in the world when professors have such impossible standards?

From the episode description: We also discuss ways to protect Jesse Farrar and read an essay from a brave TP USA's student activist censored by a lib professor.

Summary:

"Written for Kent State’s College Writing II course (taught by Professor Mary Owens), the paper is titled “Standing Up For Freedom” and appears to run about two and a half pages in length.

The student-author begins by happily reflecting upon their youth and obedience to the American ritual of standing for the national anthem. The author quickly pivots to grief over people who, they claim, disrespected the national anthem ritual by talking over it at high school football games.

The author’s grief is then transformed into outrage by the time they become a university student at Kent State due to the national conversation regarding the #TakeAKnee protests held during the performance of the national anthem at NFL games–and subsequent attempts by fellow Kent State students to protest in solidarity with those athletes.

The paper is edited and lightly critiqued throughout, but it doesn’t take long into the essay before the professor offers substantive rhetorical critiques–and it’s these rhetorical critiques that form the basis of the outraged conservative reaction and the sarcastic response to that reaction."
