The media is on a mission.

They want to start a race war. They’re setting little fires all over the place and then pouring fuel on them. They’re taking the big fires already burning and instead of trying to put them out, they’re turning them into infernos.

Why?

Well, it’s good for ratings, but more importantly, it’s good for Democrats and their hopes for 2020.

Let’s face it, they’re not in good shape heading into the campaign season with an Alzheimer’s patient, so they’ll take whatever help they can get. They need all hands on deck and if they can keep one chaotic episode after another burning in this country up until the election, they think that increases their odds of a win.

But one Texas high school football coach isn’t having it.

He delivered a “they won’t divide” us speech to his players and staff that has gone viral for all the right reasons.

Klein Oak High School football coach Jason Glenn gave a powerful message to his players when they gathered recently on the field in Spring, Texas.

“The stuff that’s going on in our country right now? That’s not going to divide us!” Glenn hollered as he stalked around the turf while his players stood at attention. “Your skin color, your race, your religion … that won’t divide us! … We’re not doing that! We won’t allow it!

He shared that he’s noticed in the wake of George Floyd’s death and the protests and rioting that have followed around the country that “people look at each other differently! … It’s changing us! It’s dividing us!”

But he reemphasized to his players that “we’re not gonna be divided! We’re not gonna let society tell us who to hate — you need to decide that … by their heart, their character, and how they treat others!”

At one point Glenn approached a white man standing on the field and the pair embraced, after which the coach said, “I love him to death! He’s my guy … one of the first guys I met welcomed me here … this is my brother! Love him to death! And you know what? Nothing — society, social media, TV — nothing’s gonna change the way I feel about him. You wanna know why? Because I judge him on his character and his heart.”

We need so much more of this than what we’re getting from the hateful and divisive media.
