Who We Are

Defend American Ideals, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, champions the founding ideals of this country—that we are all created equal and should be judged by the content of our character. Sadly, a corrosive ideology dominates our public discourse today: It shames Americans for their race, color, ethnicity, or gender; teaches children that they are oppressed, or oppressors, due to the color of their skin; pressures public and private institutions to grant preferences to some racial groups while discriminating against others; and infuses racial grievance into nearly every aspect of American life. All the while, politicians and the media defend such practices under the false notion of “equity.” Defend American Ideals seeks to defeat this corrosive ideology. Through public advocacy and education, we will support the enduring values that inspired the Founding of this country and will promote equal opportunity over equal outcomes.
