What If Barry Goldwater Were Running Today?

If Barry Goldwater were to run today, he would stand firmly against the forces of "wokeism." ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ Friend, In 1964, Senator Barry Goldwater boldly opposed government overreach, declaring that “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.” Today, we face another threat — the rise of woke culture — where free speech is stifled, the government interferes in every aspect of our lives, and identity politics replaces individual merit. If Barry Goldwater were to run today, he would stand firmly against the forces of "wokeism." Senator Goldwater would recognize the "woke" movement as a form of collectivism and groupthink that conflicts with individual liberty. He would argue that true equality means equal opportunity, not equality of outcome, and that the government has no business imposing ideological conformity. He would oppose mandatory diversity training, DEI, critical race theory, and identity-based quotas — and all illiberal attacks on our nation’s founding principles. The Goldwater Institute is keeping Barry Goldwater’s legacy alive by fighting to protect the rights of all Americans against the injection of toxic identity politics into everyday life, and we are winning!

To achieve this goal, the Goldwater Institute has partnered with allied organizations to create a set of model policies targeted to state legislatures. Our five-point program for removing DEI from college campuses includes: - Abolishing DEI bureaucracies. - Protecting professors and students from mandatory political indoctrination. - Ending the use of bias reporting systems that encourage students to spy on their colleagues and report them to university administrators. - Passing new state laws with “teeth” that hold college bureaucrats accountable when they don’t protect free speech on campus. - Requiring transparency in classroom curriculum and instructor syllabuses. The war against discriminatory DEI practices will continue until we persuade state legislators to support our cause and implement our five-point policy platform in their states. Here’s how you can help defeat DEI: [ALL online donations are matched until the end of the year! Can you donate $10, $35, $100, or even $250 today?
