He also held the post of director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under George H. W. Bush.
Early life and educationEdit
Bennett was born July 31, 1943<ref>"William J. Bennett." American Decades, edited by Judith S. Baughman, et al., Gale, 1998. Biography in Context, Accessed 28 July 2017.</ref> to a Catholic family in Brooklyn, the son of Nancy (née Walsh), a medical secretary, and F. Robert Bennett, a banker.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> His family moved to Washington, D.C., where he attended Gonzaga College High School. He graduated from Williams College in 1965, where he was a member of the Kappa Alpha Society, and received a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in political philosophy in 1970. He also has a J.D. from Harvard Law School, graduating in 1971.
CareerEdit
Educational institutionsEdit
Bennett was an associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Boston University from 1971 to 1972 and then became an assistant professor of philosophy and an assistant to John Silber, the president of the college, from 1972 to 1976. In May 1979, Bennett became the director of the National Humanities Center, an independent institute in North Carolina, after the death of its founder Charles Frankel.
Federal officesEdit
In 1981 President Reagan appointed Bennett to chair the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), where he served until Reagan appointed him Secretary of Education in 1985. Reagan initially nominated Mel Bradford to the position, but due to Bradford's pro-Confederate views, Bennett was appointed. This event was later marked as the watershed in the divergence between paleoconservatives, who backed Bradford, and neoconservatives, led by Irving Kristol, who supported Bennett.
While at NEH, Bennett published "To Reclaim a Legacy: A Report on the Humanities in Higher Education", a 63-page report. It was based on an assessment of the teaching and learning of the humanities at the baccalaureate level, conducted by a blue-ribbon study group of 31 nationally prominent authorities on higher education convened by NEH.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
In May 1986, Bennett switched from the Democratic to the Republican Party.<ref name="finally turns Republican">Template:Cite news</ref> In September 1988, Bennett resigned as Sectetary of Education, to join the Washington law firm of Dunnels, Duvall, Bennett, and Porter. In March 1989, he returned to the federal government, becoming the first Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, appointed by President George H. W. Bush. He was confirmed by the Senate in a 97–2 vote. He left that position in December 1990.
Radio and televisionEdit
In April 2004, Bennett began hosting Morning in America (radio show), a nationally syndicated radio program produced and distributed by Dallas, Texas-based Salem Communications.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The show aired live weekdays from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, and was one of the only syndicated conservative talk shows in the morning drive time slot. However, few stations carried the show due to a preference for local shows in this slot, and the show was mainly broadcast on Salem-owned outlets. Morning in America was also carried on Sirius Satellite Radio, on Channel 144, also known as the Patriot Channel.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Bennett retired from full-time radio on March 31, 2016.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
In 2008, Bennett became the host of a CNN weekly talk show, Beyond the Politics. The show did not have a long run, but Bennett remained a CNN contributor until he was fired in 2013 by then-new CNN president Jeff Zucker.
Bennett has been moderating The Wise Guys, a Sunday night show on Fox News, since January 2018. Carried on Fox Nation as well, participants include Tyrus, Byron York, Ari Fleischer, Victor Davis Hanson, and others.<ref name="FoxNation">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Author, speaker, and punditEdit
Bennett writes for National Review Online, National Review and Commentary, and is a former senior editor of National Review.
Bennett is a member of the National Security Advisory Council of the Center for Security Policy (CSP). He was co-director of Empower America and was a Distinguished Fellow in Cultural Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation. Long active in United States Republican Party politics, he is now an author and speaker.
Bennett was the Washington Fellow of the Claremont Institute. He was also a commentator for CNN until 2013.
He is an advisor to Project Lead The Way and Beanstalk Innovation.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He is on the advisory board of Udacity, Inc., Viridis Learning, Inc. and the board of directors of Vocefy, Inc. and Webtab, Inc.
In 2017, Bennett launched a podcast, The Bill Bennett Show.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
According to internal White House records from January 6, 2021, Bennett spoke on the phone with then-President Donald Trump just before Trump went to the "Save America" rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Political viewsEdit
Bennett tends to take a conservative position on affirmative action, school vouchers, curriculum reform, and religion in education. As education secretary, he asked colleges for stronger enforcement of drug laws and supported a classical education. He frequently criticized schools for low standards. In 1987 he called the Chicago Public Schools system "the worst in the nation."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He coined the term "the blob" to describe the state education bureaucracy,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> a derogation which was later taken up in Britain by Michael Gove.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Bennett is a staunch supporter of the War on Drugs and has been criticized by some for his views. On Larry King Live, he said that a viewer's suggestion of beheading drug dealers would be "morally plausible."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He also "lamented that we still grant them [drug dealers] habeas corpus rights."<ref>Balko, Radley (2010-12-20) Beyond Bars Template:Webarchive, Reason</ref>
Bennett is a member of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) and was one of the signers of the January 26, 1998 PNAC Letter<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> sent to President Bill Clinton, which urged Clinton to remove Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein from power.
Bennett is a neoconservative, and <ref name=":0">Template:Cite book</ref> was an advocate for the Iraq War.<ref name=":0" />
In 2016, Bennett vigorously supported Donald Trump in his presidential campaign, writing that conservatives who objected to Trump "suffer from a terrible case of moral superiority and put their own vanity and taste above the interest of the country" and that "our country can survive the occasional infelicities and improprieties of Donald Trump. But it cannot survive losing the Supreme Court to liberals."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
ControversiesEdit
GamblingEdit
In 2003, it became publicly known that Bennett - who had spent years preaching about family values and personal responsibility - was a high-stakes gambler who lost millions of dollars in Las Vegas.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Criticism increased in the wake of Bennett's publication, The Book of Virtues, a compilation of moral stories about courage, responsibility, friendship and other examples of virtue. Joshua Green of the Washington Monthly said that Bennett failed to denounce gambling because of his own tendency to gamble. Also, Bennett and Empower America, the organization he co-founded and headed at the time, opposed an extension of casino gambling in the United States.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Bennett said that his habit had not jeopardized himself or his family financially. After Bennett's gambling problem became public, he said he did not believe his habit set a good example, that he had "done too much gambling" over the years, and his "gambling days are over". "We are financially solvent," his wife Elayne told USA Today. "All our bills are paid." She added that his gambling days are over. "He's never going again," she said.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Several months later, Bennett qualified his position, saying, "So, in this case, the excessive gambling is over." He explained, "Since there will be people doing the micrometer on me, I just want to be clear: I do want to be able to bet the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Radio show abortion commentEdit
On September 28, 2005, in a discussion on Bennett's Morning in America radio show, a caller to the show proposed that "lost revenue from the people who have been aborted in the last 30 years" could preserve Social Security if abortion had not been permitted since Roe v. Wade. Bennett responded by hypothesizing, "If you wanted to reduce crime, you could—if that were the sole purpose—you could abort every black baby in this country and the crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down."<ref>McNamara, Robert. Multiculturalism in the Criminal Justice System, McGraw-Hill, 2009. Template:ISBN</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Bennett responded to critics of his statement by saying, in part:
- A thought experiment about public policy, on national radio, should not have received the condemnations it has. Anyone paying attention to this debate should be offended by those who have selectively quoted me, distorted my meaning, and taken out of context the dialogue I engaged in this week. Such distortions from 'leaders' of organizations and parties is a disgrace not only to the organizations and institutions they serve, but to the First Amendment.<ref>Transcripts: CNN Saturday Morning News [1] Template:Webarchive. October 1, 2005</ref>
