The solution: eliminate all forms of government-sponsored preferential treatment by race. It is not within any government\u2019s power to force racial harmony on its citizens, but it is within the government\u2019s power to strip away the legal and administrative incentives and requirements for preferential treatment according to race.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
In 1782, the founders of the newly independent United States chose the motto novus ordo seclorum \u2013 \u201ca new order of the ages\u201d \u2013 to inscribe on the Great Seal. They were right to do so. The creation of a nation dedicated to the proposition that every individual has the same rights to liberty and the same innate human dignity as everyone else was an unprecedented world-historical event. But I fear that we are nearing a point of no return. We must reaffirm the American creed explicitly and quickly, or this country will become just another big power like other big powers, governed with all the historic oppressions that America tried to cast off. In that event, we will not only have sacrificed our heritage. We will lose foundational freedoms and jeopardize even the rule of law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
