A potential rise in patriotism and freedom has influential leftists deeply concerned.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has been firing up the internet with brutal media beatdowns and brilliant hot takes. One of his latest statements regarding the removal of the failed Department of Education has leftists screaming in the wind.
“Children will be taught to love America,” Miller’s “frightening” remarks began.
“Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding. So as we close the Department of Education and provide funding to states, we’re going to make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology.”
Sounds wonderful, right? Not so, for several high-profile leftists on X.
Trump-hating journalist Aaron Rupar posted Miller’s inspirational message as if it were a bad thing:

Rupar’s post even got a boost from former ESPN host and writer Jemele Hill, who declared, “This should frighten everyone.”
Unremarkably, the leftists perspective received plenty of confirmation rife with ignorant “Nazi” talking points:
The Nazi party intended that the population under its control, and future generations, would have absolute loyalty to Adolf Hitler, the regime, and Nazi ideals. To accomplish this aim, complete indoctrination of children into Nazi ideology was a priority, and the youth of Nazi…

Mandatory patriotism, banned ideologies, and loyalty pledges.
This isn’t policy, it’s the handbook for state-run propaganda.— Nikos Unity (@nikosunity) May 1, 2025
Miller’s statements and the associated policies—mandating patriotism, banning certain ideologies, and leveraging federal funds to enforce compliance—align closely with historical examples of indoctrination, like Nazi Germany’s use of education to control ideology. While…

Among all the Nazis in the Trump administration Stephen Miller is the most Nazi of them all.

The Nazi-est Nazi of all Nazis!!! Perhaps they believe if they keep saying it, one day it’ll come true?
Thankfully, there appeared to be just as much pushback for those on the side of liberty:
Why would you not teach someone to love their own country? That doesn’t mean you deny or brush over the dark parts of our history or ignore mistakes we’ve made. And teaching them to love their home (an extension of their “selves”) isn’t a wicked thing to do.

Thank you for sharing this great message to your leftist crazy followers. It will resonate with everyone.

Yes, every nation teaches its citizens patriotism. What’s the problem?

Nothing frightening about this

Absolutely nothing. No one is saying kids will be “forced” to love America, like leftists are claiming. They will and should be taught about the good and dare I say, miracles, of America and its founding, instead of only its flaws and mistakes.
As far as I’m concerned, that’s way better than being taught about drag queens

So he doesn’t what anyone to push communist ideology, and you’re telling everyone that they should be frightened? You’re kidding, right?
— Mr. Will Johnson (@ImMrWillJohnson) May 1, 2025
Jemele Hill was totally not kidding.
This is what it was like in the 70’s and 80’s when I was in school. Guess what? We didn’t divide ourselves by race, but united as Americans. We also didn’t have school shootings, had higher test scores and were self sufficient by the time we were 12.
We could count change, knew…— Al (@potatodreamguy) May 1, 2025
This will frighten only people who hate their country, and who want to indoctrinate other people’s children into their hatred.
Thanks for showing us all your agenda.

This is today’s American left.
Our children being taught to love their country is scary to them.
Unbelievable

Are you crazy?
Stephen Miller is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT right about this.
How is this even controversial?
ALL of this is what makes ANY country strong, united and functional.
The woke, Marxist Left are literally termites eating away at our national/cultural foundation and soul.

Exactly.
