President Biden is firmly supporting radical left culture in his initial rush of executive orders, including reopening the door to federal bias training based on the absurd “critical race theory”.
Last week, he rescinded a Trump-era order banning training that implied anyone was racist or sexist “because of their race, sex and / or national origin”. The ex-prez established that rule after it was discovered that agencies across the federal government were doing just that – joining the far left movement to insist that (to begin with) all whites and all men are inherently fanatics.
Yes, several agencies reacted to Trump’s order, suspending all anti-prejudice training until they could examine their programs – but that was a wise answer: it is very typical for tormented bosses to carelessly approve the use of outside “experts” to launch an absurd absolute.
And if you don’t buy the extreme left’s radical claim that America is full of hidden intolerance, it’s hard to see why even not– crazy training to avoid prejudice is necessary for most of the vast federal workforce. This is basically a “cultural war” project put in place without any rational debate.
Notably, Biden at the same time also dissolved President Donald Trump’s 1776 Commission and withdrew the final report he had just released. The report condemned the left’s attempts to taint America’s founding principles, emphasizing slavery as the core of the country’s foundation.
It was a response to The New York Times’ flawed “Project 1619”, which aims to teach students that the nation was founded to defend oppression, not freedom, and was condemned by many of the country’s leading liberal historians, including experts. in slavery.
Naturally, the Times criticized the 45-page report, pretending that it “defends the foundation of America on the basis of slavery”. In reality, the report recognizes the horror of slavery, but it also recognizes that America’s foundation planted the seeds for its abolition at a time when slavery was practiced worldwide.
If Biden does not actually interrupt his support for this leftist madness, all his talk about rebuilding Central America will prove nothing but deceptive noise.
