The Washington Post on March 7 published a column in which E.J. Dionne Jr. contended that President Joe Biden is "Rolling back the politics of culture wars."
Besides requiring the entire government to commit to an "Equity agenda," Biden has further inflamed the culture wars in more than two dozen other executive actions.
Biden also has made the government's COVID-19 response a key culture war battleground.
Having gone several days without focusing the government on "Equity," Biden issued a memo directing the newly created Task Force on Scientific Integrity to publish a report on "Scientific integrity of diversity, equity, and inclusion practices" in the federal scientific and engineering workforce.
Another executive order creates a Council of Advisors on Science and Technology that will advise Biden about, among other things, "Racial equity."
Another order creates an Environmental Justice Advisory Council that will provide Biden with recommendations to deal with "Historic environmental justice." That order creates a separate Office of Climate Change and Health Equity, along with a National Climate Task Force to coordinate the whole government's equity-based response to climate issues.
Two takeaways from all of this: First, contrary to Dionne's claim, Biden is not "Rolling back" the culture wars; to the contrary, he has poured gasoline on the fire.
