The Morning Rant: My Breakup Letter To The Salvation Army

Conservative media has given much coverage recently to The Salvation Army’s heartbreaking embrace of critical race theory. One example from The Federalist is at this link.

Unsurprisingly, donations plummeted this Christmas season. ”Salvation Army 'Red Kettle' donations lagging after posting racism guide.”

The evaporation of financial support speaks more strongly than any written words, but I also felt it necessary to personally write The Salvation Army to let them know of my disappointment and disgust as I suspend further financial contributions to this once great charity. This is the letter I sent to the local Salvation Army commander last month.

Dear Major ___________:

I have been donating to The Salvation Army for decades. I have long admired the work it does for the those in the greatest need of food, shelter, and salvation. For the past several years, 100% of my United Way contribution has gone to The Salvation Army. Until now.

I am choosing to suspend all further contributions to The Salvation Army, and I will find another local charity that has not embraced the racial divisiveness and anti-Americanism that TSA is now promoting.

How did TSA ever get to the point where it is promoting the hatred and racial animus of “Let’s Talk About Racism”? The “clarification memo” from TSA when they pulled that book “for appropriate review” makes it embarrassingly clear that TSA is still committed to the anti-Christian notion that people of certain races are flawed, and should feel guilt based simply on the color of their skin.

That is gross and offensive, as is the fact that TSA now castigates people as being racist if they aspire to be color-blind. That is so contrary to the teachings of Jesus.

My heart is broken that The Salvation Army has strayed so far, and has embraced such evil.

Please remove me from all your mailing lists. I will not abide racist, anti-American solicitations coming to my house.
