This is a disgusting act of censorship by American Legion officials in Hudson, and I’m a member of the Legion!

Cancel culture exists....on both sides. Sad to see it happen even to one of our own.

It always has, from the "Moral Majority" going after video games and music to overly woke college students not wanting to hear differing viewpoints on campus.
It's not even anything new. Only the term "Cancel Culture" seems new, but what it is has been around forever. Most people just don't want to hear or engage with people that disagree with them.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel: Looks like this post is going to be permanently shut down.

i guess there are no black residents of Hudson Ohio. maybe that is why that portion of the speech was deemed "irrelevant"
I agree MSgt Neil Greenfield . their actions are making me rethink joining the Legion here

Just keep in mind that the Legion’s Department of Ohio did the best thing they could by taking retribution against the two members who committed this action. They’ve also closed the Post. The American Legion does do a lot of good things for Veterans, so don’t ascribe the actions of a few towards the entire organization. There are a few rotten apples in every organization.
