The Democratic platform adopted at Los Angeles is the craziest document ever written.
As a matter of fact, it gets crazier every time you read it.
This time the platform didn't stop at advocating race mixing in the public schools.
This time, it goes all the way and advocates race mixing in "all areas of community life."
All-Out Destruction
This time, it doesn't advocate race mixing in the "public schools" alone.
This time, it advocates "equal access for all Americans" to "schoolrooms".
Now, this means all schoolrooms. This means church schools as well as public schools.
This means private schools as well as public schools.
This provision says that the Catholic schools cannot deny any person admittance.
This says that a school operated by the Baptist Church, the Methodist Church, or any other church, must accept members of all churches and members of all races. This says that there can be no discrimination.
Churches and Lodges
And this race mixing advocated by the Democrats isn't limited to the schools. This means churches, lodges, country clubs, golf clubs, Kiwanis Clubs.
Rotary Clubs, Exchange Clubs and every other kind of club or organization in a community.
Everybody in a community must have equal access to every church, every lodge, every club and every other organization in the community.
While evidently not intended, the range is broad enough to mean that the Knights of Columbus couldn't keep the Masons out and the Masons couldn't keep the members of the Knights of Columbus out of its organization.
End To All Freedom
It certainly does mean, and is intended to mean, that neither organization can keep Negroes - or the members of any other race - out.
For instance, the Jewish organizations could not keep Negroes out nor could it keep Gentiles out.
Neither could the Gentiles have organizations which would deprive the Jews of membership.
The whole thing is designed to destroy private schools, church schools and every other kind of private or church organization.
Communist Ideal
It is designed to produce the Communist ideal of a non-religious state organization.
It is designed to produce one race and one people by mixing them all up.
It is designed to produce one religion and that religion is the Godless, atheistic doctrine of Communism.
It is designed to destroy Christianity and to substitute the Communist state as a religion.
Dream of Immaturity
And, in his acceptance speech, John Kennedy said:
