ideology

Bessent has defended tariffs - a capstone of Trump's protectionist agenda - arguing that opposition to them is rooted in political ideology and not "considered economic thought".

Regarding history curriculum, the website says: “Racially divisive policies and theories and false teachings of the American founding are indoctrinating America’s youth with an anti-American ideology instead of preparing them for engaged citizenship by teaching rigorous subject matter.”

History provides ample evidence of the consequences of allowing ideology to govern scientific inquiry.

These may be extreme examples, but the lesson here is that positioning science as the servant of ideology is perilous.

You need to be useful to your community and not an ideology.”
