Kelly Wong's appointment is the result of a 2020 voter-approved measure that removed the citizenship requirement to serve on San Francisco boards, commissions and advisory bodies.
Its funny to put conservative and evolving together in the same sentence. First, because a lot of religious conservatives don’t believe in evolution. Secondly, “evolution” implies change and innovation, and conservatism, in the traditionalist sense, has the attitude that change for the sake of change is generally not a good idea. Russell Kirk, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Kirk probably one of the most influential thinkers in American conservativism, said that two of the most important concepts are:
"A faith in custom, convention, and prescription, and
A recognition that innovation must be tied to existing traditions and customs, which entails a respect for the political value of prudence."
Right wing ideas are very much instructed in schools and in churches. I went to one of those schools and one of those churches. Right wing ideas are also instructed via tv channels, websites and think-tanks, paid for by those who want to promote those ideas, although I realize that’s not what you mean by instructed in the school sense. Prager U isn’t a school but it does right wing instruction.
It may seem like these ideas arise naturally and organically in the minds of free thinking people, but political ideologies -left or right- don’t spontaneously appear out of nothing.
If you have opinions but can’t point to where they come from other than “its just right” then your thinking has been influenced without you knowing it. And that’s not a good thing for anyone.
Well I don’t know how you figure. Some would say that to accept evolution is to deny the Bible, which amounts to denial of God. It also seems like to be “not religious” is by definition anti-religion, because if you were not against some aspect of traditional American society then you’d be a part of it. If you grew up with it, then at some point there was a rejection.
