To support of the spread of conservative values at Harvard, there is a need for conservative writers to develop a solid intellectual foundation for the idea that American Conservatism is not equal to 1930's Naziism. It is something entirely different. In fact, American Conservatives played a key role in defeating Nazism in the 20th Century.
Most Trump voters already know this, but the liberal Northeast and particularly Harvard has been thoroughly duped into believing that American Conservatives are equivalent to 1930's German Nazi's. It is, of course, a fallacy ... an accusation that bears very little resemblance to reality. It does, however, seem to convince many voters, especially those who have neither the time nor the brainpower to study it carefully. A conservative professor dedicated to the study of 20th Century European history, would also help.
If there is one point that the Salient can make, decisively and persuasively, over the next 12 months, this one would probably be the most impactful. A conservative professor at Harvard, who is dedicated to the study of 20th Century European history, would also help.
Born in 1966, I am Gen-X. I was raised Episcopalian-ish. At age 37, I converted to the Latter-day Saint sect. Now, at age 59, I live in Provo, UT. My wife and I are raising four children in this faith, and they are all doing very well.
My children are Gen-Z. They embody the trend of "religion first" in their lives. My oldest served a 2 year mission for the Church. He helped numerous individuals find the LDS Church and convert to it. His enthusiasm for the Church is strong. The classic Mormon expression to describe a person like this is "he is strong in the Gospel." He is now a freshman at BYU-Provo and loves it. His name is Ben.
Ben doesn't smoke. Never has. He doesn't drink. Never has. He doesn't do drugs. Never has. Although he has not yet chosen a major, his first goal is to marry and start a family before leaving BYU.
I am thrilled with how he and the others are developing. Raising them LDS is the best decision I have made in my life!
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. --- John Adams, 1798.
Most Americans do not appreciate the extent to which Christian morals and values permeate our nation. Even amongst those who do not identify as Christian, many Christian concepts are taken for granted and assumed to be right.
To the extent that America rejects Christ, it is done at our own great peril.

The word "myth" has a strong connotation of being false. Is it really appropriate to write "a country’s founding myth is its creation story"?
