The recent White House Conference on American History introduced a new strategy for restoring American history education that also has only barely begun to be appreciated and understood.
In contrast, former Vice President Biden and his running mate Senator Kamala Harris have enthusiastically embraced the woke ideology of systemic racism, have largely adopted Senator Bernie Sanders's socialist plan to massively expand our education system and direct it from the federal center, and have promised a series of culture-war initiatives from the Left that will further undermine principles such as due process, religious liberty, traditional understandings of family and sexuality, and the right of parents to direct the education and socialization of their children.
The starkest divide is between, on the one hand, the conservative base, which has plenty of enthusiasm but little money, organization, leadership, or planning on education issues, and on the other hand, the most well-funded, policy-savvy, and influential conservative education policy wonks.
In particular, we need to read Joe Biden's radically transformative education plans through the lens of the conservative education quandary.
This is yet another way in which the Biden higher education plan serves to lock in the woke revolution.
The plan is about to be rolled out by the very same bipartisan education reform movement that created Common Core for math and reading.
Even in case of a Trump victory, the conservative education establishment's civics-married-to-woke-activism strategy will need to be repudiated, and the challenging task of shrinking the higher education sector begun.
