House Democrats Propose A Racism Czar To Control National Memorials
Section 754 of a bill presented by House Democrats proposes to regulate names on federal property based on 'diversity, equity, and inclusion,' which really means discriminating by race and ethnicity.

House Democrats are proposing a bill that would institutionalize identity politics in America if passed into law. Section 754 of the bill presented by the Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee proposes the creation of a Commission on Federal Naming and Displays. This commission is instructed to evaluate “property names, monuments, statues, public artworks, historical markers, and other symbols owned by the Federal government or located on property owned by the Federal government.â€
The standards by which the committee is instructed to judge each of the above are the values of “diversity, equity, and inclusion†— leftist buzzwords that typically result in discriminating based on race, sex, and ethnicity.
Although re-evaluating the people and symbols we honor is appropriate from time to time, this proposal is problematic, to say the least. It will only serve to further the “cancel culture†that has been persecuting individuals, businesses, and institutions. It will also set forth an arbitrary standard by which to judge our national symbols.
Identity politics is already being pushed by media and academic elites. Schools and corporations alike have capitulated and instituted mandatory diversity training. The entire California school system is partnering with the National Equity Project, an organization that provides resources to companies and schools on how to teach white privilege.
