Multiculturalism, Expansionism, and the Threat to American Identity
... After decades of worship by American institutions, the doctrine of multiculturalism is finally facing strong, sustained challenges at home and abroad. In essence, multiculturalism was a globalist imperative that masqueraded in the Western world as a moralistic form of cosmopolitan sophistication...
