Risks & tensions

  • Proclamation's reference to 'securing our Nation's borders' and 'protecting precious religious liberties' injects contemporary political themes into an otherwise commemorative document, potentially polarizing reception.
  • Vague call for 'more educated citizenry' lacks implementation mechanism or funding.
