It’s like Michael Scott wrote this:

quote:

The training suggests that lumping people into a class based on various orientations is offensive and orders students to use “person-centered” language. Instead of “the disabled,” the speaker should say “people with disabilities” and “transgender people” instead of “transgenders.”

The DC political class is remarkably insular and leans heavily left. We've seen a recent example of this with the Sussmann trial (acquitted of lying to the FBI even though every piece of evidence proves he did indeed lie to the FBI, also someone on the jury was the parent of a child who plays sports with Sussmann).

What you're seeing here is a decision made by people in that political class. This is no different than those who made the decisions to use (and participated with) the FBI to investigate/intimidate parents across the country merely for speaking up against their local school boards for trying to push CRT/Restorative Justice/etc in their schools.

The Airforce says all that but then says the following when asked about it:

quote:

The Air Force “develops leaders of character that can lead diverse teams of Airmen and Guardians inclusively, to enhance innovation and win future conflict,” a spokesperson told Fox News.


Shouldn't Airmen be changed to Airpeople? Why is the Airforce inconsistent?

"Guardians" is pretty masculine and aggressive sounding too, pretty triggering imo.

They'd have to dishonorably discharge me. I'd never start referring to my mom as anything other than "mom."

It won't cost Democrats shite. Entire establishment is supporting Democrats. State media included.

For the love of god, Democrats wholeheartedly support sexualizing 5 to 7yr old kids.. and the state media has twisted it around so much that 10s of millions of Americans believe the non-uniparty Republicans are the evil ones for trying to stop Democrats from sexualizing children.

From the article:

quote:

The training claims that the programming will make the country’s military more competitive, as “our leaders have deemed D&I a warfighting imperative.” 


We are so beyond fricked if we get into a shooting war

There's no context where that slide is acceptable.

Translation: we went to far but instead of admitting it, we’ll just say it was “taken out of context”

It has yet to cost them. Can't understand how, but it hasn't. Are there that many crazy people in this world?

The gifts of Obama keep giving and giving.

The net republican or whatever is going to have to gut so many agencies and departments. If it's even possible, it will be very costly and painful.

This here could be problematic

quote:

Treating races equally by vowing to be “color blind” is not acceptable or sufficient, according to the training, which says that “color conscious,” on the other hand, is the correct language to use instead. It encourages students to distinguish based on race, to “see Color/Patterns” AND VALUE people for their uniqueness.”

Yeah, no. Not the Russians at least…I seem to remember the Bolsheviks all being of a distinctly different ethnic group…

I can’t say shite. USNA is eaten up with wokeness.

I am skipping my reunion. Get the strong impression that people like me are not welcome anymore. And I don’t want to listen to their woke bullshite.

Applications are WAY DOWN at USNA, USMA, and USAFA. And rightfully so. They won’t get any of my sons.
