IS IT TRUE?
There is no question as to the
attitude of the National Organiza
tion of the American Legion when
the education of all inhabitants of
the United States is concerned. In
order that the ideals of Liberty and
Justice be perpetuated all must be
educated to those ideals and all
must have Equal Opportunity to se
cure that education. T. he few in the
Alaska Department of the American
Legion, along with the political and
economic despoilers of the Territory,
are not so broad minded as the
Parent Organization when the ques
tion of equal opportunity in educa
tion is mentioned.
From the ravings of the “political
peewit” in the sanctum sanctorum
of the Empire I have come to the
conclusion that this government of
the United States is “of white peo
ple, for \ white people, by white
people.” That the public school sys
tem which is supported by all races
and nationalities, white, black, red
and yellow, must be maintained for
the “elect” placed in our govern
ment by the will of God. That the
urgings of Americans for the per
petuation of the principles and ideals
upon which this government was
founded are but the mouthings of
radicalists and enemies of our coun
try. That the foundation of class
and racial distinctions are the funda
mental principles of 100 per cent
Americanism.
To get back to terra firrna I pick
up books and writings on our gov
ernment and try to reconcile the rav
ings of men like Jawn Troy with
the writings of Thomas Jefferson
and Abraham Lincoln, but from the
general trend of the resolutions of
the educators of the territory at
Ketchikan and the resolutions of the
American Legion at Sitka, I must
confess that I begin to think that
Jefferson and Lincoln were all
wrong. That Liberty and Justice are
only for the white people; that
equal opportunity of education Is
only for the white people. That
what progress the Indian makes in
Alaska must be dug out and carved
out of an un-American institution—
a paternal governmental system of
segregated education.
