Being an American requires conformity with the positive benefit of unity

Tell that to the Texas power grid.

By conformity he just means what the white people in charge want. Not like conforming to rules or ethical standards or laws or the Constitution.

Exactly. Synonyms for “conformity” include submission, obedience, surrender.

Important to keep in mind that the objective of public education is to prepare a productive workforce while conditioning that workforce to stay on its knees.
