Biden 'Equity' Plans Make Wokeism Core to U.S. National Security
On his first day in office, President Joe Biden issued an executive order to "affirmatively advance equity," calling for combating purported systemic racism in the federal bureaucracy by pursuing race-preference policies across its every agency.
With the release of the Biden administration's related National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism in June of 2021, I suggested that, given its stated effort to combat the claimed most lethal threat to the homeland of white supremacists through anti-racist "equity," applied critical race theory would become our domestic counterterrorism policy.
Now, with the publication of the administration's government-wide series of "equity action plans," in response to its first-day executive order, the Biden regime has further vindicated that view—one that, if anything, undersold the size, scope and ambition of the regime's effort to remake the U.S. government in Ibram X. Kendi's dystopian image.
In a new piece at Newsweek, I report on how these “equity” action plans are poised to corrupt U.S. national security and foreign policy—serving as an integral part of the War on Wrongthink at home, and undermining our national interests abroad.
I conclude in part:
Is it possible that we see a deeper "equity" agenda in a Biden administration intent on gutting programs aimed at countering America's worst adversary or empowering the globe's leading state sponsor of terror, while treating Americans who disagree with its policies as terrorists?
To its proponents, equity, stripped of any kind of moral veneer, is about punishing enemies and rewarding friends in pursuit of desired outcomes.
As Kendi puts it, "As an anti-racist, when I see racial disparities, I see racism." As for an antidote:
The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.
One could easily see how this could be applied, and perhaps is being applied, beyond race and past our shores.
International equity would demand that America prostrate itself before its foes—those suffering from inequities created by racist and imperialist America.
Domestic equity would demand pursuing non-progressives—a priori racists since their favored policies, to the Kendians, create unequal outcomes among those of different races—like foes of the regime.
Putting America, and Americans, last would seem to be consistent with equity.
Now, this toxic mentality has taken over our government.
