The “diversity” crowd means to transform the U.S. into its collectivist utopian vision. It seizes every conceivable opportunity to spread its influence. That includes the education of those who serve in the military.
So writes J. A. Cauthen in today’s Martin Center article.
He writes:
DEI has metastasized beyond the confines of the civilian world and found a willing host in America’s armed forces. Left unchecked, DEI-focused military education and training will lead to the same nihilistic abyss as their civilian counterparts. If current trends are allowed to persist, the military and its service members risk succumbing to the same divisiveness and politicization that are roiling academia, but with arguably far direr and deadlier consequences.
The essence of the problem, Cauthen shows, is that identity-based discrimination (for certain groups, against others) is now the paramount concern, not individual ability. And of course, the Biden administration has used Department of Defense money to propagate this subversion.
What must we do? Cauthen answers:
To remedy these ills, Congress, the Pentagon, and the individual services urgently need to purge DEI from the American military. This will take the force of law, time, and courage. In the interim, by returning to traditional civics education, America’s armed forces will ensure personnel are educated in line with their oaths and duty.
