The Air Force Academy requires its incoming cadets to watch a diversity and inclusion video supportive of attending a Black Lives Matter chapter meeting.
Critics argue this proves military academies have implemented critical race theory as part of their curriculum.
We are pleased to offer this introductory D&I course as part of our commitment to working with cadets and cadet candidates in fostering a safe community built on mutual respect, teamwork, and personal dignity,” a note from Yvonne L. Roland, the director of Culture, Climate, and Diversity, reads at the onset of the training.
The video follows Jose, a minority student, and three friends, while the instructions tell cadets to “decide how you think his friends should respond.” In the first scenario, two of the white friends pressure Jose to attend a Black Lives Matter rally, while the third later posits that the slogan should be "All Lives Matter," which was later described as a “really problematic” comment.

“It’s what to think versus how to think,” and the “problem with that is there is a natural power dynamic in higher education, or really in any education, where if the professors are steering you towards a certain way to think, and you buck that, your grade suffers,” he added.
Ping.
Training the US Air Force to do genocide of white people to make sure there is “equity”...
We have been warned...
Hopefully the cadets will be able to sleep through the course as they focus their minds on the more important subjects like flying and mathematics.
Meanwhile, in Afghanistan....
This is why we lost the war.
And will lose the next “Big One”.
What an absolute catastrophe.
Meanwhile, in Afghanistan....
Exactly. The services are churning out troops who are allowed to do nothing but run in high heels.
Our military is going down the crapper.
If this crap is what they’re wasting our tax dollars on, it’s time to defund the Air Farce Academy and shut it down.
No. Try the mech inantry BS. Add MGMT. by stats. Then LGBT.
Yup, definitely in deep shit.
Go ahead, while the Muslims are training their 8-year-olds how to kill racist infidels with precision . . .
I sure wish we had the fighting force of my grandparents generation . . . now, them was the good ol’ days.
Maybe they should concentrate on War Fighting and War Winning.
Just a thought.
Service Academies are relics. They are not really necessary and have proven that the officers they produce since WWII have little ability to fight to win the higher grade they go ring knocking.
The ,eft are doing to the military what they did to the boyscouts= they are destroying it
Exactly. Those pushing CRT don't want to have an honest conversation and talk with you, they want to talk to you.
