Bush's
Faith-Based Initiative
The
faith-based initiative of President Bush is a right-wing effort to pour millions
of taxpayer
dollars into the Religious
Right, tear
down the separation of church and state, and steer millions of Americans into
a dependency on right-wing churches for social services. It is also an effort
to create a culture that is hostile to reproductive rights. For more information
see the IDS
Insights about
the funding and political network behind the faith-based initiative and charitable
choice.
Over
the past 20 years, a complex network of conservative think tanks, foundations,
and legal advocacy groups has emerged to mount an unprecedented assault
on racial and gender diversity. The result has been a fundamental change
in the balance of forces defending and opposing the central gains of
the civil rights and feminist movements.
The Assault on Diversity
documents the rise of an ideologically driven campaign that threatens to
put decades of progress in peril and, led by a political minority, is out
of step with the consensus of mainstream America. The book provides a comprehensive road map of the anti-diversity movement
to guide concerned Americans in the fight to preserve historic gains in
civil rights and build a fair and inclusive society.
