STRUGGLE: Science vs. facts

| March 31, 2021 1:00 AM

Nike decided to remove from its shelves its Fourth of July “Betsy Ross” American flag sneaker, because former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick claimed the sneaker was racist. This was the original American flag with 13 stars symbolizing the 13 original American states. It was designed and crafted in 1776 by Betsy Ross.

This was the flag General George Washington flew during the Revolutionary War, America’s eight-year war of independence from Great Britain. Betsy Ross was a Quaker from Pennsylvania. She was a fierce opponent of slavery.

We have been blessed to live our lives in America, land of the free and the brave. We need to fight like we have never fought before. Churches coming together as one, before it’s too late! This is the time of “science” not facts!

How could we this year of our lord 2021 place science above facts?
