In the interest of creating a Utopian culture with equal outcomes for all, we must transition to a society where inequality, fear, bigotry and discrimination become relics of a less welcoming past:

- Tear down the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor. It is an obvious symbol of white privilege, bigotry and repression. Oh, the one at City Beach, too.

- Oppressed athletes refusing to stand for our national anthem? The solution is obvious. Do away with the anthem. The flag too. Furthermore, to be asked to stand in respect is clearly a violation of the First Amendment.

- Letter grades (A,B,C,D, and F) at all educational levels must be eliminated. They serve only to damage the self-esteem of many scholars. And as you know, actual learning is overrated.

- Remove all intellectual requirements for admission to college. And free tuition for all.

- Cease immigration law enforcement at our border … it is a textbook example of racial discrimination.

God bless… whoops, wait a minute. We have to remove this word, ‘God’, from our vocabulary. Atheists have feelings too.

… bless America, and … bless our military.
