President Joe Biden signed an executive order Wednesday that, among other things, dissolves a commission created under the Trump administration to advance a “patriotic education” for American students.
“Equal opportunity is the bedrock of American democracy, and our diversity is one of our country’s greatest strengths. But for too many, the American Dream remains out of reach,” read the executive order, in part.
“It is therefore the policy of my Administration that the Federal Government should pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all, including people of color and others who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality.”
