The Department of Defense has again drawn the ire of a prominent conservative watchdog group, amid accusations of teaching critical race theory at another military academy.

On Tuesday, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Naval Academy.

In its press release, Judicial Watch said the Pentagon is being challenged for allegedly "implementing Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the training of naval recruits."

The FOIA request with the Navy also seeks to acquire "PowerPoint presentations used for training and/or classroom instruction discussing Critical Race Theory, CRT (when used to represent Critical Race Theory), and/or 'white supremacy,'" along with any other pertinent emails sent or received by Navy officials discussing CRT, according to the press release.

US Naval Academy creates new woke 'Diversity Peer Educator' program
DPEs are to serve "as a walking safe space for peers" and "as a resource for peers who need to seek help in all matters of diversity and inclusion."

Recently uncovered documents from the United States Naval Academy have revealed that the military branch based out of Annapolis, Maryland has rolled out a "Diversity Peer Educator (DPE) Program," which serves to "create an inclusive environment that fosters dignity and respect throughout the Brigade."

Substack CDR Salamander published the details of the new program via a memo that was released on February 16 by the Department of the Navy’s Office of the Commandant of Midshipmen. The statement read, "The DPE Program exists to create an inclusive environment that fosters dignity and respect throughout the Brigade by equipping midshipmen to lead across cultures in support of the USNA Mission and guidance."  ...

Midshipmen who become DPEs are required to participate in at least one Diversity and Inclusion Program event per semester, attend the USNA Diversity and Inclusion Conference, assist with planning Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion led events, and participate in continuing education from the DPE program Manager.

According to the USNA document, the program will be in effect for 10 years from February.  ...

What in the hell happened to "The mission comes first."?

All this social experimentation within the military is destroying it.

"...across cultures...", spit.  I didn't and my co-workers didn't give a good damn what your "culture" was at work.  Carry your weight and get the job done.

You're missing the point, Zonian.

"The mission" -- itself -- has been changed.
It ain't what it used to be.

Wokeness, not strength, IS the mission.
