Biden has just got into office and he is already making big changes. But he really has free rein since he has the House and Senate now. To start off his presidency Biden is issuing over a dozen executive orders, many of which will be overturning Trump’s policies. Biden is even disbanding the 1776 commission which was meant to move us forward as opposed to focusing on past transgressions of this country. It was Trump’s push for Patriotic Education.
“President Joe Biden on Wednesday issued an executive order dissolving the Trump Administration’s 1776 Commission, which was established to study the core principles of the nation and to advise the federal government on how to prioritize founding principles in grants and other activities.
The White House claims the commission “sought to erase America’s history of racial injustice.”
Former President Donald Trump established the commission in an executive order in November that aimed to promote “patriotic education” and to push back against accusations that the country is “irredeemably and systemically racist.” The move was seen as pushing back against historical claims made in the New York Times‘ 1619 Project.
“Without our common faith in the equal right of every individual American to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, authoritarian visions of government and society could become increasingly alluring alternatives to self-government based on the consent of the people,” Trump’s executive order read.
Biden’s order also revokes “President Trump’s damaging executive order limiting the ability of federal government agencies, contractors and even some grantees from implementing important and needed diversity and inclusion training.”
The order also asks federal agencies to”prepare an action plan within 200 days “to address unequal barriers to opportunity in agency policies and programs.”
So wanting to move away from the false ideology that America is racist is a bad thing? Biden’s executive order is also going to force diversity on Federal jobs meaning there may be staffing changes if they are not diverse enough. So people may lose jobs for being white. But it’s Trump’s policy that is damaging…
