A reader who works for the Department of Defense, reacting to my post from earlier today about the State Department’s instructing Fulbright scholars in gender ideology, says this memo was sent around this morning to thousands of employees of that particular agency:
This [meeting] will focus on the importance of being able to move from tolerance and acceptance to embracing diversity. We have all observed and been on the receiving end of each of these different levels of human interaction. We can state with absolute certainty the distinction between being tolerated and being embraced, for instance. There are confidence impacts. There are social impacts. There are mission impacts. The panel for this Coffee and Conversations will talk about the importance of embracing each other, regardless of our differences. [emphasis mine] They will also share experiences and insights into where they have seen this done well and where they have seen it done wrong.

I am very particular about whom I embrace. In my case, they will just have to settle for tolerance, otherwise I guess they will have to just shoot me. I just don’t do embracing.
Celebrate Perversity!
Or Else.......
Our office secretary used to accept, kind of, my ‘friendliness’.
She needed to embrace it!!!!
Bkmrk.
Loved one was a Fulbright Scholar.
They are all for tolerance, just so long as you believe the same as they do.
Sexual harassment is legal now.
PING!!!
It used to be that you were being asked to tolerate, ....homosexuality and transgenderism, .... Now you are being strongly nudged by your employer to affirm, or embrace. Notice the language in the memo, which implies that if you don’t affirm, then you are harming the mission (= doing a subpar job). You know what happens to people who harm the mission.
Active Duty ping.
-embracing diversity-
Now they are expected to hug the freaks at work ?
Good luck with that.
oh come on ... the tub of lard in that pic is on active duty ?
They need that big asz truck to haul him around. Would have loved to have him with us in 68 humping 10 kliks at Cu Chi.

1. I don’t think it’s a guy. The ring finger is clearly shorter than the index finger (woman’s hands).
2. It looks like a Washington State National Guard patch to me. — Probably from the left coast (Seattle).
Been to a lot of their diversity training - was told that I couldn’t use the terms “Homey” or Homeboy” because I was the wrong color.......it was racist if I did it - even among Black friends.
Its gotten to the point where I don't even want to set foot on a military installation anymore.
A great nation sold for a “free” phone and an EBT card in the name of diversity.
Declaring or signing a statement under duress makes it null and void.
They can say the "n" word all day long but whitey isn't allow to so much as think it. But that's not racist.
