House Republicans Aim to Stamp Out Critical Race Theory in Military Training; U.S. Navy Announces It Will Implement Racist Critical Race Theory Throughout Fleet
House Republicans Aim to Stamp Out Critical Race Theory in Military Training:
Some Republican lawmakers, concerned about critical race theory being introduced in the U.S. military, are seeking to amend a defense spending bill in a bid to stamp out the promotion and teaching of leftist bias.
“My Republican colleagues and I hear regularly from active duty and retired service members that even holding conservative values is now enough to endanger a service member’s military career,” said Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), the ranking Republican member of the House Armed Services Committee.
Rogers said in a statement that the issue needs to be addressed in the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)—which typically garners bipartisan support—and that he’ll work with “any free-speech-minded Democrats interested in joining our cause.”
In the Senate, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) suggested that Republicans may have to hold up NDAA spending to ban training that involves critical race theory (CRT) within the military. The quasi-Marxist theory claims that the United States is a fundamentally racist country, with a continuing power struggle between “oppressors” and “oppressed” based on skin color.
Cotton, in response to a Fox News question about legislation proposing to remove CRT-related training in the military, said that holding up funding “may be a step we have to take … but I wouldn’t say that we can’t get that passed either.” —>READ MORE HERE
U.S. Navy Announces It Will Implement Racist Critical Race Theory Throughout Fleet
The U.S. Department of Defense released a memorandum Monday outlining its critical race theory initiative in the Department of the Navy that will take shape through “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Planning Actions” (DEI).
The new effort instructs Caroline Kessmeier, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, to direct several “policies, programs, and operations” among the military. Kessmeier has been assigned to be the Chief Diversity Officer and told Defense Daily in April ” …I believe we must embrace and advocate for a diverse workforce and workplace environment.”
Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Harker signed the memo, which calls for reviews that ensure the branch aligns with its determined goal of imposing affirmative action.
“Equal opportunity is the bedrock of our democracy and diversity is one of our greatest strengths; both are critical to the readiness of our Navy and Marine Corps team and, ultimately, to our mission success,” Harker said. “Aligned with these guiding principles, it is the policy of the Department of the Navy (DON) to continue making transformative and meaningful steps that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in our policies, programs, and operations across the enterprise.” —>READ MORE HERE
