Col. Mark Anarumo, the president of Norwich University and formerly the director and permanent professor for the Center for Character and Leadership Development at the Air Force Academy, told the Washington Examiner in an interview that the teaching of critical race theory does not allow for “a high-level debate or enhanced understanding of a topic.”

“It’s what to think versus how to think,” and the “problem with that is there is a natural power dynamic in higher education, or really in any education, where if the professors are steering you towards a certain way to think, and you buck that, your grade suffers,” he added.

Training the US Air Force to do genocide of white people to make sure there is “equity”...

We have been warned...

Hopefully the cadets will be able to sleep through the course as they focus their minds on the more important subjects like flying and mathematics.

American military dies in 2021, replaced by armed, uniformed BLM & LGBT+ activists who'll likely be used against us in the not-too-distant future.

That is, after all, the reason for the CRT training in the first place.

Go ahead, while the Muslims are training their 8-year-olds how to kill racist infidels with precision . . .

I sure wish we had the fighting force of my grandparents generation . . . now, them was the good ol’ days.

Maybe they should concentrate on War Fighting and War Winning.
Just a thought.

Service Academies are relics. They are not really necessary and have proven that the officers they produce since WWII have little ability to fight to win the higher grade they go ring knocking.

Exactly. Those pushing CRT don't want to have an honest conversation and talk with you, they want to talk to you.

Uh, that’s exackly right

And way worse at the academies where questions are heresy

Hopefully the Air Force cadets will do what I did to get through the “cultural diversity” requirement at college: smile, say “Yes sir/ma’am”, pass the course, and then jettison it from the mind in favor of more relevant things.

So we’re training future warriors in “be nice to bad guys?” If Trump we’re still Prez., he’d cut funding and tell the commandant to jump in the lake.
