President Dwight D. Eisenhower federalized the entire Arkansas National Guard and used it to protect the nine black students integrating Central High School.

JFK federalized the National Guard to integrate Alabama public schools.

“National Guard historians, in response to a request by the Chicago Tribune, listed 12 times since the enactment of the 1952 Armed Forces Reserve Act when the Guard was called into duty and operated under the control of the president. Many of these incidents were during the turbulent civil rights struggles in the 1960s.”

Hold up! That’s not how CNN and MSNBC spun it? Are you saying that they can’t be trusted?
