There are a few here on RP who take me seriously and there are some who think I'm a lunatic. Then there's the great mass who don't know or care about me and my opinions. Well, here's an opinion that I hope most will accept and act on: Watch this video. And, if I'm the lunatic you think I am, you may throw it in my face (as if you ever needed any encouragement). The rest may learn something important

Did Sasse Go to Class? Review of Historian and US Senator Ben Sasse’s The Vanishing American Adult
“Despite claiming a national scope for this problem, Senator Sasse’s The Vanishing American Adult mainly applies to upper class white Christians, thereby exposing an arrogant idealism that is closer to neoliberal fantasy than reality.”
The last two chapters “Build A Bookshelf” and “Make America An Idea Again” are emblematic of Senator Sasse’s idealism, bordering on cultural neoliberalism.
He writes: “America is a different kind of place. It was founded deliberately, by people with ideas about heaven and hell,” once again alluding to the Christian nation mythology.[10]
This claim overlooks the theft of native lands, made clear in books such as historian Daniel Richter’s 2001 Facing East from Indian Country, plus others published after Sasse’s doctoral exams. Sasse excludes key texts for understanding American history and society.
To start, widely read books such as The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander and Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram Kendi would complement the Senator’s bookshelf, advance his worldview, and unpack the colorblindness in The Vanishing American Adult.
