Donald Trump named Brendan Carr as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. And he has vowed to flip the script on what some have called the woke mind virus.
“Democrats have been in charge of the Administrative State—the alphabet soup of agencies in DC—for at least 12 of the last 16 years. Over those 12 years, government control has increased and your freedoms have decreased. It is time to flip the script in Washington,” said Carr, who is the top Republican on the commission and who opposes the Biden Administration’s obsessive spending of DEI — Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
“The FCC’s most recent budget request said that promoting DEI was the agency’s second highest strategic goal,” Carr said in a statement. “Starting next year, the FCC will end its promotion of DEI.”
He also wrote: “We must dismantle the censorship cartel and restore free speech rights for everyday Americans.”
Carr, 45, was born in Washington, D.C. and graduated from Georgetown University in 2001 with a bachelor of arts in government. He attended Catholic University of America’s Columbus School of Law, and was an editor of the Catholic University Law Review.
Carr was general counsel to the FCC, and was appointed to the commission by Trump in 2018. He was confirmed in 2019 by the Senate to a five-year term.
Carr brings nearly 20 years of private and public sector experience in communications and tech policy to his position. Before joining the FCC as a staff member, he worked as an attorney at Wiley Rein LLP in the firm’s appellate, litigation, and telecom practices. Carr also clerked on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit for Judge Dennis Shedd.
Can someone please explain to me what the woke agenda is? Be detail specific?
It’s morning in America, again. Let’s not waste it this time.
