There’s a crusade against America, but its soldiers don’t carry rifles. They carry degrees from our most prestigious universities and hold sway in our nation’s classrooms. Their mission is to unearth division in every corner of our culture and to label every tradition that binds us together as a source of hidden shame. They’ve already come for our history, our holidays, and our heroes.

This campaign of cultural demolition has grown so fanatical that nothing is off-limits. No symbol of simple, American goodness—no matter how wholesome—is safe from being twisted into something sinister. The basic building blocks of a healthy life that we all took for granted are now being put on trial by these so-called intellectuals. It really makes you wonder: what on earth could they target next?

From Bioethics Today:

“Nazis were enamored of whole milk as well. I am suspicious. Milk drinking is political. Drinking whole white milk has played a big role in racist and far-right thinking. In America, drinking whole milk has for years been a part of alt-right, white nationalist messaging…”

The next battleground in the Left’s unending culture war is the dairy aisle. The author of that unhinged tirade is Arthur Caplan, a bioethics professor at New York University. His ire is directed at The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, a commonsense piece of legislation signed into law by President Donald Trump to give schoolchildren access to nutritious, wholesome milk. But in the rarefied air of the ivory tower, a simple glass of milk is apparently never just a glass of milk.

Where Woke Takes You

Frankly, this is where the road of progressive ideology was always going to end: in complete absurdity. For academics like Caplan, the world isn’t a place of shared values, but a dark battlefield of power, privilege, and oppression. In that warped reality, a bipartisan effort to improve childhood nutrition is somehow recast as a sinister plot rooted in white supremacy.

To a normal person, providing whole milk in schools is about building strong bones and fueling young minds. To a “bioethicist” at NYU, it’s a dog whistle for the far-right. This isn’t higher learning; it’s a political psychosis that has been allowed to fester in our universities, completely unmoored from the lives of Americans just trying to raise healthy families.

An Assault on Reality

Thankfully, common sense hasn’t been totally extinguished. When faced with this nonsense, a spokesperson for the US Department of Agriculture was refreshingly direct, stating the government is “taking bold steps to strengthen school nutrition” and that “to suggest otherwise is completely false.”

The most devastating rebuke to Professor Caplan’s fantasy, however, comes from the legislative record. While Caplan frantically tries to paint the pro-milk bill as a product of the “alt-right,” he seems to have missed a crucial detail: one of the bill’s early and enthusiastic sponsors was none other than Pennsylvania Democrat Senator John Fetterman—hardly a MAGA hat-wearing conservative. The professor’s entire premise crumbles under the weight of that one simple fact.

Common Sense Strikes Back

Fellow bioethicist Wesley J. Smith, writing for National Review, perfectly captured the insanity of the professor’s claims. He sarcastically noted that one of the honored guests at the White House signing ceremony was “that notorious white supremacist Dr. Ben Carson.”

Smith demolishes the academic pretense with a dose of pure, unadulterated reality. He gets to the heart of the matter with a simple, powerful truth that speaks for millions of citizens tired of having their lives politicized. “Seriously, this is idiotic,” Smith wrote. “Sometimes whole milk is just whole milk.”

That is the straightforward sentiment that elites in their ivory towers can never grasp. They are so lost in their ideological maze that they can no longer see the world clearly. They see ghosts of Nazism in a milk carton while patriots see a healthy choice for their children.

This was never about milk. It is about a radical worldview that seeks to control, condemn, and redefine everything we value. It is a stark warning that the fight for our country isn’t just happening in Washington, D.C. It’s a fight for reality itself, and it’s being waged everywhere from Congress to our children’s school cafeterias. We must stay vigilant and never surrender common sense to those who have so clearly lost theirs.

Key Takeaways

• Elite universities are now incubators for absurd, anti-American ideologies.
• The Left seeks to politicize even the most basic nutritional choices for children.
• “Woke” arguments often collapse when confronted with bipartisan reality.
• Common sense is the conservative counter-weapon to academic nonsense.
