Sen. Tom Cotton, rightly angered that the Department of Defense is moving to indoctrinate U.S. military personnel in divisive critical race theory, has introduced a bill that would forbid it.

My company just had a roundtable call with the VPs and somebody on the council suggested that they start snooping on social media accounts for any naysayers not “down with the cause” of DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion).
Anybody found guilty of not toeing the line should be fired was the words of a VP.

They have no place in our society.
Seem like extortion, blackmail, or terristic threats.
That’s exactly what it is.
