After hosting a reading of the Declaration of Independence for 30 years, taxpayer-funded NPR canceled the show this year and replaced it with a biased, left-wing screed on “equality.”
On July 4th, NPR posted a tweet to listeners explaining that the annual American history program was canceled.
“This July 4th we break with tradition,” tweeted Morning Edition host Leila Fadel. Instead of reading the Declaration of Independence — as National Public Radio has done every Fourth of July for more than three decades — the broadcaster put on an America-bashing feature asking “on this July 4th, what does equality mean?”
This July 4th we break with tradition. Instead of a reading of the Declaration of Independence @NPRinskeep examines what equality means and has meant in this document. Important segment about our past and future…produced by @marcarivers and @bgordemer https://t.co/MxlgNaWpC1

Last year, the biased, left-wing radio network did host the reading, but it also surrounded the reading with woke commentary to “explain” why the founders were evil.
But, at least they read it.
This year, they didn’t even bother with the reading. They just went straight for the woke, anti-American exposition.
No tax dollars at all should be going to this biased organization.
It is long past time to fully defund NPR and PBS.
