Diversity & Inclusion Trainings

What is perhaps most surprising about all of this is that what began in academia as anti-American rhetoric and ideology, propagated by Leftist intellectuals—Marxists—who hated America’s exceptionalism and founding philosophy, and whose intention was the deliberate dismantling of our institutions and the restructuring of our culture, is now believed by some leaders within America’s military. They are so bought-in, themselves, that it comes as a surprise to them when patriotic servicemembers are not enthusiastic about their views.

The late American scholar Hugh Nibley warned of the condition in which we now find ourselves: “When those who referee the game become the leading practitioners of deception, the civilization is finished. Nothing stops the corrosive progress of rhetoric once it begins to work, for the highest achievement of the art, the ancients tell us, is that skill which convinces the patron, customer, or victim that no rhetoric at all is being used.”202

Perhaps the victory of Marx in our day, then, is that we as patrons are unaware of his aims, strategy, and tactics. Marxist ideology and rhetoric—narratives about oppressor and oppressed groups, unacceptable power structures, racial group identities, and unfair economic stratifications—have once again come knocking at the door and we have all but let down our guard. Some senior military leaders are becoming the leading practitioners of this deception, this grand fraud, which seeks to unravel the moral fabric of America that once knit us together in unity.

Under the banner of “Diversity and Inclusion” trainings, some leaders unethically use their positions to promote CRT’s divisive agenda and anti-American propaganda to the military personnel at their bases. I mentioned one such example in the vignette at the beginning of Chapter 2. As a result, we are seeing increased division and resentment within the ranks. We are seeing good order and discipline undermined. We are eroding the confidence military professionals place in their oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Fortunately, every base is different, as is every leader. There is yet hope that once the broader military community becomes aware of what is happening, more courageous and patriotic servicemembers of all ranks—across the political spectrum—will take a stand against CRT’s destructive impulse. It is one of the purposes for which I am writing this book.

During the summer and fall months of 2020, it came to the attention of the White House that Diversity and Inclusion trainings were steeped in critical race theory, and that the trainings were spreading throughout Executive Branch agencies. The Trump Administration took swift action to intervene.

On September 4, 2020, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Russ Vought, issued a memorandum (M20-34) for “The Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies” with the subject “Training in the Federal Government” addressing the matter. In it, Vought explains:

It has come to the President’s attention that Executive Branch agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date “training” government workers to believe divisive, anti-American propaganda.

For example…employees across the Executive Branch have been required to
