In what seems like a bygone era, diplomats were appointed to safeguard the interests of the United States against foreign adversaries. However, the landscape has shifted dramatically, with President Joe Biden’s appointees seemingly intent on dismantling the very fabric of American society they claim to represent.
The recent appointment of Zakiya Carr Johnson as the State Department’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer by Secretary of State Antony Blinken underscores the Biden administration’s steadfast commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) within the Department. This adherence to DEIA, reminiscent of former President Obama’s remarks about Americans clinging to their guns and Bibles, raises eyebrows given the current trend in the private sector, which is distancing itself from such initiatives.
The surge of DEI initiatives reached its zenith amid the upheaval of the summer of 2020, marked by widespread riots led by Marxist-founded Black Lives Matter activists. This period of societal unrest coerced cultural institutions into adopting DEI measures as a means of addressing deep-seated cultural issues.
Despite claims of divisiveness and mounting evidence of its ineffectiveness, the Biden administration remains undeterred in its pursuit of DEI agendas. This steadfastness is exemplified by Carr Johnson’s appointment, prompting scrutiny of her background and beliefs.
Carr Johnson’s career trajectory, spanning roles in DEI-focused positions at the State Department and left-leaning NGOs, coupled with her advocacy for Brazil’s Marxist president, underscores her alignment with critical race theory (CRT) principles. In her public statements, she espouses CRT terminology and advocates for systemic overhaul, portraying the United States as inherently flawed and in need of radical transformation.
Central to Carr Johnson’s worldview is the notion of power dynamics embedded within societal structures, which she believes must be dismantled to effect meaningful change. Her writings and speeches reflect a deep-seated belief in intersectionality and the interconnectedness of various forms of oppression, from racism to patriarchy.
By appointing Carr Johnson to a position of influence within the State Department, the Biden administration appears poised to weaponize DEI principles to root out dissenting voices and enforce ideological conformity. This departure from traditional diplomatic norms reflects a troubling trend wherein internal divisions are prioritized over external threats, ultimately undermining America’s interests and security.
In an era where external adversaries once posed the greatest threat, the Biden administration’s embrace of ideological crusades against perceived domestic injustices risks turning Americans against each other, thereby weakening the very foundation of the nation.
