Don't cede fairness to liberals WashTimesOpEd
That’s unfortunate, because policies that flow from the left’s conception of “fairness” often harm those most in need of “fairness.” Conservatives can close this massive moral messaging gap with a more persuasive narrative about what’s fair.
The Department of Justice’s mission is to “uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe, and to protect civil rights.” Still, the agency’s 2022-2026 strategic plan asserts a need to “ensure economic opportunity and fairness for all” as a key plank.And on the right? Mostly crickets. The right, by contrast, views fairness as “proportionality,” which focuses on individuals being rewarded in proportion to their industriousness, merit and contribution.
Conservatives have a chance to pivot to a persuasive fairness narrative made up of three complementary parts. Second, conservatives can offer an alternative conception of “equality” as an opportunity. After all, America is founded on the pursuit of happiness. Policies such as school choice that promote opportunity are popular, too. A 2022 survey showed 72% of voters favor school choice.
