I think you got to do both, but I don't think just the libertarian approach is going to work. And we can look at a number of examples of that. One is schooling. School choice is not going to solve this problem because most people are going to choose school simply based on their results. They may not have a choice to send kids to a classical school.

And in addition, I mean, the surveys that I've looked at show there's almost no difference in the degree of exposure to critical race and gender ideology between public and private school and even, to a large extent, homeschool kids. And so only those with very committed parents where there is a choice of clearly non-woke instruction, are we going to get a change?

Meanwhile, the vast bulk of kids are just going to be going through this indoctrination mill. I did a survey with Zach Goldberg at the Manhattan Institute. We found 90% of American 18 to 20-year-olds that we surveyed, we got 1,500, 90% had been exposed to at least one critical race theory concept, that is systemic racism, white privilege, or unconscious bias by an adult in the school.

So this is saturation level, and there has to be Some way of addressing that, I think Ron DeSantis is showing the kinds of things that need to be done to make the school into a politically neutral space once again.

Well, the first thing I would say is that the political right needs to upgrade the importance of culture and particularly these culture war issues around critical race and gender ideology and free speech protection and political neutrality in schools, government bodies, for example, in the teaching of history. But you look at the Republican Party, they have largely been asleep at the switch.

Only very recently are they starting to move, particularly at the state level. You know, you have a very strong infrastructure in the U.S. on the right to hold politicians to account between elections on certain issues, guns, abortion, for example, taxes. We don't have anything like that to hold politicians to account on how they're doing on, for example, affirmative action.

which has only been banned in four red states compared to 13 red states banning abortion, even though affirmative action is opposed by about a two-thirds majority of the American public. So I argue that NRA or pro-life organizations are a model for the kinds of culture war organizations that need to spring up

in order to make Republican politicians accountable for their performance on these issues. And that doesn't yet exist. The other thing I'd like to see is certainly a lot of school reforms, particularly on the curriculum side. You should not be allowed to teach that the U.S. was a slave power and engaged in stealing land without teaching about non-white slavery.

For example, indigenous slavery and conquest and genocide. Comanches nearly wiped out the Apaches. On the West Coast, the British actually ended indigenous slavery. You know, we have numerous empires, the Aztecs, the Ottomans that were engaging in all of these things. So this contextualization is so vital.

71% of Americans under 25 believe that the native peoples lived in peace and harmony before the arrival of the Europeans, which is the exact opposite of the truth. In fact, the Europeans were actually a lot more peaceable, you know, in terms of your likelihood of being violently killed. And so they're getting a very one-sided sort of moralized view of history. This is where the heart's
