From Greenwood Village, Colorado comes a disturbing story about anti-American sentiment.
The Cherry Creek School District is accused of firing a teacher who said he believes the United States is the greatest country in the world.
The comment came about during a required diversity training session where the employee was questioned about being a white person who identifies as an American.
Participants were asked to discuss questions such as “What does it mean to be white?” and “How do you identify?”

The school district’s equity director reportedly told the principal that the comments had racist undertones. The district then eliminated the position – citing budgetary reasons.
But America First Legal says the move was retaliatory and they have filed an official complaint. They allege the district violated their client’s First Amendment rights.
“As alleged in the complaint, Cherry Creek School District blatantly violated the First Amendment rights of our client when they terminated him because his pride in the United States of America did not align with the district’s political ideology that America is a systemically racist nation,” attorney Ian Prior said.
“Like other school districts across the country, Cherry Creek has replaced the Bill of Rights with the ‘DEI Manifesto,’ and teachers, students, and parents are being silenced for standing up for the values that make America great,” he added.
They further alleged that the school district has a political ideology that portrays America as a systematically racist nation.
“We are proud to stand up for all teachers across America who are being unfairly persecuted for daring to challenge a government-sponsored orthodoxy that teaches hatred of America and seeks to marginalize people based on their viewpoints and the color of their skin, ” Prior said.
Instead of the Bill of Rights, teachers, students and parents must swear allegiance to a DEI manifesto.
