WASHINGTON (TND) — A “vast DEI bureaucracy” in the nation’s military academies is leading to negative impacts on U.S. Armed Forces, according
to a new Arizona State University report.

The 80-page report released by the school’s Center for American
Institutions condemned treatment of the prestigious schools as a
“laboratory for social experimentation.” Exposure to critical race
theory during schooling is leading future military leaders to contribute
to a growing culture surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion, the
report states.

The National Commission on Civic Education in the Military finds that
cadets and midshipmen at our military service academies are receiving
extensive training in so-called civic education about racism, sexism, unconscious bias, and intersectionality that subverts our ideals,” the
report reads. “These trainings rely heavily on the tenets of Critical
Race Theory (CRT) and are provided with the express goals of fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace, and of rooting
out alleged white supremacy in the military. Training is implemented by
a vast DEI bureaucracy that extends from senior leaders at the Pentagon
to the lowest ranks.”
DEI themes, the report says, “dominate” the “Orwellian” trainings given to servicemembers. To combat this, researchers called for class syllabi
to be made public and for the military to implement more education
related to American values and the U.S. Constitution.

“Americans are rapidly losing confidence in our fundamental social and political institutions, including the military,” researchers wrote. “Critical to restoring trust is a restoration of civic education focused
on foundational principles upon which America’s founders created the experiment of our democratic republic.”

Members of Congress are now probing the extent to which taxpayer dollars
are used to promote DEI initiatives at the Pentagon. In a letter to
Defense Advisory Committee on Diversity and Inclusion, several lawmakers condemned the “DoD’s emphasis on diversity and inclusion over mission effectiveness and capability concerns our nation’s national security and safety.”
