Campus Reform Correspondent Emily Sturge joins Fox Across America With guest host Paul Gleiser to give her take on college students who are vowing to skip Thanksgiving dinner this year in order to avoid interacting with relatives who voted for President-elect Trump.
“It’s very sad, but I’m not surprised by Generation Z ditching their families for Thanksgiving because this is a direct reflection of what students are being taught in their college classrooms. Their professors are constantly peddling this rhetoric that conservatives are racist and fascist and Nazis. At Morgan State University, there was a professor there, we wrote an article about this Campus Reform. That professor likened Trump to Hitler and then said that she wished that the shooter had been successful. So on college campuses, professors are indoctrinating students with divisive rhetoric like this. Why would they want to go home for Thanksgiving and sit down for Turkey with their Nazi relatives? I mean, I can understand why students so indoctrinated with this mindset would choose to ditch their family. You know, it is crazy. And leftists are viewing family gatherings not as a time for family to get together. Thanksgiving is no longer about gratitude. It’s a space to educate your family members about white privilege or about upholding democracy. I mean, Thanksgiving is no longer about gratitude. It’s all of a sudden about oppression and upholding democracy. That’s not what it’s supposed to be. I thought Thanksgiving was the one thing Americans could all agree on. That’s football and dinner at 4:00 and a nap on the couch afterward. That’s every American’s dream. But of course, my generation has found a reason to protest. And I’m not partaking in this trend to ditch my family for Thanksgiving.”
