Calls to ‘Defund NPR’ Ring out After Network Absurdly Goes ‘Woke’ on Independence Day
Though conservatives, in general, have never been big fans of the National Public Radio network otherwise known as NPR, one thing they have appreciated about them over the years is their annual reading of the Declaration of Independence on or around the 4th of July on-air, which they’ve done for over three decades.
Sometimes they even tweeted out the DoI line by line on Twitter in addition to including it in their programming for the day.
But in 2021, things begin to change at NPR regarding the reciting of the historic document. At the beginning of their Twitter thread (and their reading of it) that year, NPR included a “disclaimer” of sorts on how the Declaration of Independence was, in their words, “a document with flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies.”
“The document also includes a racist slur against Indigenous Americans,” they also proclaimed.
A year later, instead of tweeting it out and reading it on air, NPR decided to further wokeify the day by discussing “what equality means”
