A Frank Reflection
By Frank Erickson
It is chilling that the powers that be would use children from Sandy Hook Elementary School to promote Americanism. It is pure exploitation to wrap these students in the American flag at the Super Bowl, where they sang “America the Beautiful” with Jennifer Hudson.
What is the connection”¦between murdering of their classmates and the song “America the Beautiful”””just how is their surviving a mass murder attempt connected to the song “America the Beautiful”? The parents of these children should realize and see that their children are being taken advantage of. As if these children have not been traumatized enough, now the U.S. is going to use them to promote itself.
To lead us to believe the U.S. is about peace and love, and the safety of children. To soften the appearance of the “wars”, of :enhanced interrogation techniques”, of world domination, drone killings, and the oppression of Native people. Their post-traumatic stress, their horrible experience should be off limits to anyone who wants to exploit it.
