Last week, NRA’s Wayne LaPierre spoke about how the three most dangerous voices in America are academic elites, political elites and the media elites. This week, his point is proven yet again.

Butler University in Indiana has announced that it will be offering a class titled “Trumpism & U.S. Democracy.” The new course, reports The Heartland Institute, will be offered this fall and plans to look at “how Trump’s rhetoric is contrary to the foundation of the U.S. democracy, and what his win means for the future." The course "will also discuss, and potentially engage in, strategies for resistance.”

A private university teaching our brightest minds the best ways to serve up resistance to the president of the United States—they may as well call it Anarchy 101. Can you imagine the outrage had an anti-Obama class been offered?

As LaPierre pointed out, “The radical Left in this country have hijacked too many of our schools and colleges, and now they’re trying to hijack our youth.” The Heartland Institute also noted that Butler does not have any class offerings that would provide a counterbalance to this anti-Trump course.

Standing Guard | The NRA Gathers to Celebrate Our Freedom

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
