Memo to the Senate: Stop the Marxist Takedown of Our Military! The U.S. Senate must reject Marxist leaders for the U.S. Military Services
KRIS ULLMAN
President of Eagle Forum
I want to talk for a few minutes today, not just about the die and in the military, in the ranks, but what's going on in the Department of Defense schools around the world. This CRT and DIE ideology is being pushed in those Department of Defense schools.
Just last year, they held a summit called the Equity and Access Summit, which was hours of teacher training in critical race theory and gender identity theories. They had presenters, presenters insisting that teachers become social activists, telling them to teach their students to find hidden biases in in textbooks. And one teacher actually went so far as to say she asked her students whether the American Revolution was just a transition from one group of rich white men to another group of rich white men. And she expressed her gratitude that the teachers unions were doing this training on white fragility.
So, they've been teaching in the schools about anti-racism and white privilege, but also about the radical gender identity. They even had two presenters bragging about how they had facilitated students getting gender transitions in DOD schools in Spain and Germany.
This all came about because of the DOD, EA's Diversity Equity and Inclusion Chief Kelisa Wing. Luckily, she was reassigned in May after such an outrage from parents and others across the country. But we have no indication that this ideology, that it has its tentacles in these DOD schools is actually stopping. There's only one way we can do that and that Congress has to intervene.
[Congress has] to ban teaching of CRT and DEI and gender theories in our schools.
Can you imagine being a military member and sending your child to a DOD school to find out that that school is teaching your children that your life, your life as a military member fighting with the US military, all you're doing is fighting for a nation that is systemically racist and that your parents don't really care about you if they won't transition you.
Congress has to make clear that these radical ideologies have no place in our military and no place in our military schools.
So, Eagle Forum is asking all of you to contact Congress, contact, contact the Senate, and let them know that in the spending bills and in the authorization bills, we need to get rid of this radical ideology. We need to protect our military members and the students in our military schools to make sure that they can be taught the greatness of American history and that we can really improve our military because this radical Marxist ideology is not just destroying unit cohesion, but they're actually targeting the children of military members. And that needs to stop.
Thank you very much.
