Wall Street Journal Slams Salvation Army ‘Wokeness’

A Thursday op-ed in the Wall Street Journal blasts the new “wokeness” reigning at the Salvation Army, lamenting its embrace of the worst of critical race theory (CRT).
Joining other voices decrying the decline of this venerable Christian charity, WSJ writer Kenny Xu, president of Color Us United, cites a Salvation Army discussion guide called “Let’s Talk About Racism,” published earlier this year.
“We must stop denying the existence of individual and systemic/institutional racism,” the 2021 guide declares. “They exist, and are still at work to keep White Americans in power.”
Although the Salvation Army eventually caved to the public outcry against its guide and pulled it from its website for “appropriate review,” it has never disowned its content or apologized for its embrace of the narrative of America’s purported “systemic racism,” Xu notes.
The Salvation Army has rather installed two new “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) directors, Xu observes, roles that typically draw deeply from the CRT poisoned myth of American history, which does not bode well for the direction the organization is taking.
Xu also suggests that this move by the Salvation Army may reflect a desire to solicit more corporate giving, given many corporations’ current love affair with DEI.
