Schoolhouse Scapegoat: Joe Biden wants to instill racial hatred and resentment as the new American values.

The president’s first day in office is fraught with symbolism. What he accomplishes that day signals his priorities. So when on his first day President Biden cancelled former-President Trump’s Executive Order 13950, which forbids certain forms of diversity training by the federal government and contractors, he was making a powerful, intentional statement.

Trump’s order forbid federal agencies from teaching racial or sexual stereotyping. It sought to eliminate federal training that engaged in racial scapegoating, i.e., assigning fault, blame, or bias to a race or sex or to individuals based on their race or sex. The Trump order went on to forbid training that seeks to “teach” that one race or sex is inherently superior to another, that individuals, by virtue of their race or sex, are, consciously or unconsciously, inherently racist or sexist, that the U.S. is an inherently racist or sexist country, and that individuals should be discriminated against or otherwise treated on the basis of their race or sex. The order also targeted training claiming that an individual, due to his race or sex, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex or that meritocracy or other traits such as a hard work ethic are racist or sexist.

Whether he appreciates it or not, in rolling back that order, Biden is standing the American Idea on its head.

In the U.S. we have always regarded the individual to be the object of justice. In theory, if not always in practice, each of us are more than archetypes of the groups to which we belong or subjects of the state. Rooted in the Declaration’s recognition that all are created equal and endowed with inalienable rights, the American Idea has held (to quote Ronald Reagan) that “you and I have within ourselves the God-given right and the ability to determine our own destiny.” Informed by the Judeo-Christian recognition that each person is created in the image of God and has inherent—and not merely instrumental—value, we believe that it is the individual person, even as he or she is embedded in a web of relationships, that is the bearer of rights. Much of our history has involved a struggle to grow into the fullness of this idea.
