I say “wide application” because we have recently seen NFL players seek to warn that dangerous injustices lurk within race relations in American society. Some observers have called their kneeling during the national anthem unpatriotic. I view it quite another way. I view it as a humble attempt to respectively express a conscientious objection to America’s failure to live up to its highest ideals.
I beg you to exam the inertial forces driving human behavior itself. I hope you will be able to agree that conscientious objection can be not only understandable but highly admirable.
