ENTHUSIASTIC PRAISE FROM

HARVARD UNIVERSITY SENIOR FOR

“MRFF’S UNYIELDING SUPPORT OF OUR 

U.S. CONSTITUTION IN THE ARMED FORCES”

“I had not heard about either you nor the MRFF until last night’s lengthy discussion. After hearing everything that was said and doing a little research on your MRFF site, I wanted to thank you and your team there at the MRFF very much for all you have done and all you have endured to fight against the Christian nationalism I was raised in.

“The MRFF’s unyielding support of our U.S. constitution in the armed forces for so many years inspires me and so many others here at Harvard and no doubt everywhere else.”

Hello, Mr. Mikey Weinstein and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

I’m a senior and intercollegiate athlete at Harvard Univ. and was involved in a long after dinner discussion last night about politics, the military and religion with a large group (about 25 or so) of my classmates, teammates and other friends here at school.

Your name and your org. were enthusiastically brought up by several of them, three of whom are veterans and two of whom were in the audience when you spoke here a few years ago in Cambridge, Mass. I wish I could have been there too.

I am all too aware of Christian extremism as I was raised in a fundamentalist Christian household. My father is an ordained pastor and former Air Force chaplain. He has never forgiven me for questioning in good faith some of the basic tenets of the evangelical denomination he rigidly imposed on me, my mom and my siblings. We have not spoken in several years now, unfortunately. I can tell you that he would never support what the Military Religious Freedom Foundation does. I don’t know if he and I will ever reconcile especially if he knew I was communicating with you, Mr. Weinstein, of all people.

I had not heard about either you nor the MRFF until last night’s lengthy discussion. After hearing everything that was said and doing a little research on your MRFF site, I wanted to thank you and your team there at the MRFF very much for all you have done and all you have endured to fight against the Christian nationalism I was raised in.

The MRFF’s unyielding support of our U.S. constitution in the armed forces for so many years inspires me and so many others here at Harvard and no doubt everywhere else. 

I plan to become a monthly supporter of the MRFF as soon as I get employed after graduation next Spring. Until then, please keep my name and contact info anonymous.

But my friends and I will be in touch, sir.

Please keep up the good fight, Mr Weinstein and the MRFF!

For all of our sakes.

SIR, For that son of a bitch to say you are a proponent of CRT is the pinnacle of insult. These white devils {I am white} are terrified of reality. They think their fake religion makes them invulnerable to a mistake. Manifest destiny is a cancer that has become an integral metastasizing tumor that they have come to worship. Your people were destroyed by us. I am sorry that our fear of reality makes us ignorant and blind. We have not changed. White fear has gripped these assholes and they are as terroristic, fascist and dangerous as they have ever been. I am ashamed of these whites. Please survive and let us watch these pigs twist in the wind with their hate and phony history. Here we are on the brink of disaster brought to us by the white man and they are proud of where we are. our Nation respected this home planet. These pigs raped it. I will just go on and on about my disrespect for my people but know that you are the answer. It’s just that my people are too stupid to know the question.Take It Easy But Take It,

P.S. I AM ASHAMED OF WHITE PEOPLE!
