Is Anti-Americanism A Threat? | The Daily Caller

Is Anti-Americanism A Threat? | The Daily Caller
"A Jamaican-born professor of philosophy has had enough of hearing invectives spewed against America, especially in the classroom.
Prompted to challenge the derision of the American Dream and the depiction of America as a white supremacist nation, Dr. Jason D. Hill of DePaul University wrote an open letter to journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates. 
Coates’s 2015 book, titled “Between the World and Me,” is often required reading to depict the black American experience to students.
Hill calls such required reading “child abuse” or “child neglect.”
Hill is disturbed by the growing anti-American orthodoxy that he hears on American campuses, and believes Americans need to be fortified with a rational pride that recognizes what is great about America. 
For this reason, he has written a new book, a “love letter” to his adopted country, America, titled “We Have Overcome: An Immigrant’s Letter to the American People.”...
A worthy read.
