In his Republican National Convention acceptance speech, former President Ronald Reagan called for a restoration of the “American spirit of voluntary service, of cooperation, of private and community initiative; a spirit that flows like a deep and mighty river through the history of our nation.”
As many as 200,000 individuals each year answer this noble call to participate in America’s national service program, AmeriCorps, serving as members and volunteers across its various community service offshoots, only to be put through training modules that poison the very spirit of our nation.
Training programs to enter AmeriCorps have been explicitly teaching participants diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) concepts that indoctrinate them into having an anti-American worldview; one that believes that the systems and institutions of our country were designed in such a way to benefit some and disadvantage others.
AmeriCorps partners such as Public Allies teach their corps members that it’s insufficient to be “not racist” or “against racism,” they must become “anti-racist,” which means they must actively work during their service years and after to tear down the systems and institutions of America that they’re told hold racism and all the other “isms” in place so they can build new ones that are more “equitable.” This is in direct violation of President Donald Trump’s recent executive order “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,” in which he declared that all DEI activities like this in the federal government should be terminated and their funding pulled.
