Pentagon: Bible and U.S. Founding Documents Promote ‘Sexism’
Raymond Ibrahim ^ | 4/14/15 | Raymond Ibrahim

Here again we see why Western “elites,” including the highest echelons of the U.S. military, are clueless and incapable of acknowledging — much less responding to — Islam:

Modern sexism is rooted in the Bible, U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, according to a Pentagon-approved seminar.

In a presentation prepared by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI), a Department of Defense joint services school based in Florida, the Bible, U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, along with Great Man theory, are to blame for “historical influences that allow sexism to continue,” The Daily Caller reported.

“Quotes from the Bible can be misinterpreted as having a sexist influence when brought out of context and not fully understood,” the course says. “In 1776, ‘We the people…’ only included white men: Slaves and women were not included until later in history.”

The course also cites the Declaration of Independence as a historical cause of sexism for referring to only “all men” being created equal.

[...]

“While there is no DoD Policy that requires persons to take these online courses,” the spokesman told The Daily Caller, 2,075 Department of Defense personnel have taken the “Sexism” course since 2011.

Meanwhile, to even hint that Islam’s core texts promote sexism — if not downright misogny — can get one fired. Yet the Koran declares that women are inferior to men, that men have authority over them and are permitted to beat them, that polygamy is permissible — each man can have four wives — that females only inherit half of males’ inheritance, that female testimony in an Islamic court of law is equivalent to half a man’s.

And every day, in every Muslim country, every woman experiences these very real, “non-abstract” distinctions.

Islamic prophet Muhammad himself likened females to dogs and other animals — “for all are ridden” — and said that women are deficient in intelligence and make up the majority of hell’s denizens.

Yet, it’s the Bible, U.S. Constitution, and Declaration of Independence that women need fear, says the Pentagon.

What the heck is “Great Man theory”? With Obama, the Marxists sure hit the jackpot in finally completing their long march through all the American institutions. Thank you idiot low information voters for giving us this crap, now officially taught in the US military.

Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute: we’re paying ourselves to destroy ourselves.

This is why the Left and government go hand in hand.

What’s the Pentagon’s definition of “sexism”?

“Knowing which restroom to use”?

It took these Proglodytes 100 years to infest every fiber of our society. Let us hope they can be torn out in much less time.

Perhaps the “sexism” label is rooted in the desire to destroy our culture?

Here we go again. Another “Progressive” attack at the heart of Traditional American Values. The Bible and the Constitution. Seems absurd when you first hear it...but so did “Homosexual Marriage” and “Global Climate Disruption.” The ability of the Left to create and control a “story” is at the heart of our political and cultural war we are in. Is this newest storyline about “sexism” in the Bible and the Constitution are not aggressively confronted, it will soon become pop culture dogma among the vast and growing low info sheeple.

“The Left promotes idiotism.’

A Republican House was elected by the American people to defund this nonsense and restore fiscal integrity to the government in November 2010. Since January 2011, when the class of 2010 was sworn in, the GOP has controlled the appropriations process in Congress. Since January 2011 the GOP House has failed to restore integrity to the appropriations process and has willfully supported funding the priorities of the president.

Given this behavior you could also argue that Conservatives promote idiotism. They continue to vote with the Left to fund the activities.
