Ruination awaits America's enemies

An unintended and negative consequence of President Trump's landslide victory is the emergence of a subversive element, one which seeks to defy American laws advocated by patriotic people's chosen leader.

This canker was recently exemplified in Waterloo, when Superintendent of Schools Jared Smith issued an official advisory (in numerous foreign languages) to illegal students. He advised them on how to impede American law enforcement. 

Can a more anti-American attitude be displayed than one evincing contempt for our nation's legal champions and statutes enacted by democratically-elected legislative representatives?

After he'd shoehorned into the letter boilerplate language with which he professed respect for law, Smith boasted: "We will not share student informtion or grant law enforcement building access unless legally required to do so."

It's reprehensible to teach Waterloo youth that non-compliance with authorities carrying out legal responsibilities is acceptable - even virtuous. By his own admission, the superintendent doesn't naturally have it in him to comply with related laws, but would do so only if forced.

Last February, patriotic Americans flooded polls to endorse then-candidate Donald Trump. Among salutary results of his landslide election is that ultimate ruination will surely befall America's domestic enemies.

Addendum: Last February, accompanied by a Christian pastor friend, I braved Waterloo's dangerously frigid temperatures to support Trump in the Iowa caucus. (And Iowa did favor the Republican candidate.) The event was convened in a school. At each desk was a fresh copy of far-left radical Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States," which is fine. Students should consider ideas across the political spectrum. But I wondered whether opposing philosophies also enjoyed schoolroom visibility.
