Writing in The American Conservative, Jeremy Carl describes what the Claremont Institute exists to accomplish. He lays out their generally shared organizational goals, of which I've taken the liberty of posting a sample below.
- Claremont does not believe that diversity is our greatest strength.
- Claremont does not think that every racial disparity in outcomes is a result of racism.
- Claremont would like conservative and traditional ideas of the good, consistent with our Constitutional system, to replace the current far left ideology that runs America’s public schools.
- We believe that public policy is best when it serves the needs of *all* American citizens, not just minorities.
- We as an institute are very concerned that Americans do not seem to understand the difference between the generally laudable notion of equality and the entirely pernicious notion of equity—and that we intend to inform them of the difference and fight against the current equity regime.
And there is more, but that's the gist of their position statement. It seems entirely in agreement with our own views. Hat tip to RealClearPolitics for the link.
