" Identity politics is fundamentally incompatible with the principle of equality enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. Proponents of identity politics rearrange Americans by group identities, rank them by how much oppression they have experienced at the hands of the majority culture, and then sow division among them. While not as barbaric or dehumanizing, this new creed creates new hierarchies as unjust as the old hierarchies of the antebellum South, making a mockery of equality with an ever-changing scale of special privileges on the basis of racial and sexual identities. The very idea of equality under the law—of one nation sharing King’s “solid rock of brotherhood”—is not possible and, according to this argument, probably not even desirable. All Americans, and especially all educators, should understand identity politics for what it is: rejection of the principle of equality proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence. As a nation, we should oppose such efforts to divide us and reaffirm our common faith in the fundamental equal right of every individual to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. " "
I remember the anecdote about Thatcher taking out a copy of Hayek's Constitution of Liberty (576 pages), slamming it on the table, and declaring "This is what we believe." at a policy meeting.
This document is more narrowly focused: "This is what we teach our children."
Worth reading.
It appears to be a guide for the next few years.
It;s 45 pages long. Top kek
MODS: This needs a Sticky !!!!
Just a Quick Excerpt :

Wait what?
I remember the anecdote about Thatcher taking out a copy of Hayek's Constitution of Liberty (576 pages), slamming it on the table, and declaring "This is what we believe." at a policy meeting.

DAMN !!
Fantastic... this should have a sticky, and a quiz on this should replace bicycles and boats (we can dream)!
