The action requires federal agencies to review and potentially rescind funding from schools that teach concepts suggesting individuals are “inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive” based on their race or that America is “fundamentally racist.”
So, do nothing because this isn't actually happening? Like every other non-issue that's been created?
- He's clearly just spamming executive orders with a range of divisiveness so that the overly divisive ones are picked up and pushed through the media cycle. Hopefully someone is reviewing all of them to identify if any of the ones that aren't hitting the news cycle are actually more insidious.
  
  It also looks like he's pushing the limits of what we'll let him get away with. Judging by how quickly everyone is rushing to figure out how to comply with these orders, it looks like he'll get away with a lot.
