Since this is my first blog post, I think an introduction is in order.
- I am a 3rd generation California native, now refugee. I currently reside in northwest Montana.
- I am a retired teacher/coach and Social Science Department chair in the Delano Jt. Union High School in Delano, Ca. I taught the full gamut of courses in the department from US History to Civics, including AP.
- I am a retired instructor in Physical and Human Geography at Bakersfield College in the Kern Community College District.
- I attended 4 colleges: Bakersfield College; California State College, Bakersfield; UC Santa Barbara; California State University, Chico
- I have degrees and certificates in History/Religious Studies, Education, and Planning and Community Development.
- In the comment section in online articles, and in my Facebook page, I frequently write under the moniker “RogerG”.
This blog’s purpose is a defense of our way of life from both domestic and international threats. From my perch as a concerned citizen, participant in political campaigns, and teacher of almost 30 years, the perils facing our country involve more than just external enemies. We are also at risk from ideologies at variance with our founding traditions. They must be identified and resisted.
Not only could we be transformed by these fashionable, yet corrosive, beliefs; we could quite likely be ruined by them. This blog is my small attempt at forestalling, maybe preventing, the wreckage.
