Military Patriots in control of the education?

Woke Indoctrination at K-12 Schools on America’s Military Bases

The American military is peddling critical race theory, white shaming, queer theory, and left-wing activism to children in its K–12 military schools.

The U.S. Department of Defense Education Activity (“DoDEA”), an agency under the Department of Defense, runs 160 schools on military bases across the globe serving more than 69,000 children of military personnel. It employs thousands of teachers. The DoD’s military base education budget exceeds $3.2 billion. This education system allows for easy transfer from one base to another, but it also allows for central command to dictate changes in curricular emphasis and direction. Tom Brady, the system’s director, created a new division for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in 2021 to transform the educational experience in military schools.[i] Last year, DoDEA held an “Equity and Access” summit to guide common curriculum and practices for the military education system.

Another touchstone is “diversity,” which involves honoring “the uniqueness of each individual,” embracing “diverse beliefs and backgrounds,” and creating “inclusive environments.” In practice, however, diversity means an environment that shames white males while honoring supposedly oppressed groups.

…

the DoDEA promises to “stand up and grow Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) structures to lead and implement DEI across the organization so that all students, employees, and families feel welcomed, respected, engaged, and empowered.” None of the focus areas emphasize math, engineering, or academic excellence in general. “Key Performance Indicators” are appended to each of these focus areas, but these terms are not materially defined.

With the 2018 “Blueprint,” DoDEA fully dedicated itself to the woke agenda. This can be seen clearly in their teacher trainings. More than fifty presentations from the 2021 DoDEA conference were obtained through a whisteblower. The conference was explicitly completed in response to the DoDEA’s Blueprint agenda. All presentations were recorded and archived—and many came with accompanying lesson plans. Not all presentations, however, have been used to produce this report.

Cadets are increasingly subject to the full panoply of DEI at military academies.[iii] Now children of servicemen serving around the world are subject to the same woke education in their K–12 schools.[iv] Lesson plans are infused with cutting-edge left-wing pedagogical techniques in the service of radical gender ideology and white shaming/antiracism. The new military education aims to detach military brats from their families and their country, all the better to make them global citizens. It seeks to disrupt stable sexual identities. This education undermines justice, truth, and the American way of life. We wish to make clear that readers should understand what these ideologies involve—and how our military schools are peddling these ideologies—before we offer a full assessment of why these goals make for a mortal threat to our civilization.
