Republican Florida Rep. Mike Waltz sent a letter to West Point calling for the institution to terminate its instruction of critical race theory.
In his letter to West Point Superintendent Lt. General Darryl Williams, obtained by Fox News Wednesday, Rep. Waltz inquired as to whether the military academy will continue to include critical race theory in its curriculum, and warned of the dangers the teachings pose to the future of the nation.
The Florida representative stated that such instruction puts the nation “on incredibly perilous ground if any future leaders of our military are taught that the civilian institutions and structures with ultimate authority over them … are systemically oppressive and that they therefore have a duty to oppose them.”
“The underlying piece of critical race theory is that civilian institutions in this country are inherently misogynist, racist and colonialist, and therefore, it is our duty to resist them — that is fine for activists — but one of these cadets is going to be the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and being taught that the Constitution is critically flawed?” Waltz said during an interview with Fox News on Wednesday. “That, to me, is terrifying and destructive.”
Waltz previously sent a letter to West Point leaders in April, requesting copies of teaching materials, after receiving complaints from cadets and their families regarding critical race theory in the curriculum.
In response to Waltz, Williams wrote, “extremism in any form is antithetical to the values of our Army and Nation and has no place at West Point,” Fox News reported.
“With regards to critical theory, there is only one course that has this theory as a part of the syllabus.” Williams went on to explain that the course he was referencing was titled ‘The Politics of Race, Gender, and Sexuality.’
The upper-level elective, which averages about 23 cadets per year, is typically taken by students majoring in Political Science, Fox News reported.

You wouldn’t think it would be necessary to demand that West Point stop promoting this CRT foolishness, but it is.
Perhaps, West Point has already been edging more and more left wing over the last few decades.
This probably started when they were forced to accept women recruits, and later to reduce standards for those young women. That must have started the ball rolling — downhill!
First, it is not teaching.
Second, it is not a theory it is an ideology (marxism).
Third, it is solely and strictly indoctrination.
This needs to go to the SCOTUS through the courts.
The CRT creates animus toward Caucasians deliberately berating and demonizing them because of their perceived “whiteness” which is a fancy falsity to avoid skin color.
One GOP congressman is going to tell them what to do? Grandstanding from the DeSantis seat.
Its about time we heard from Mr. Waltz on something at least, I thought maybe we should put his picture on milk cartons.
Sure would be nice to have a strong willed woman primary him.
You mean to tell me the Point is actually teaching this crap? Woe is us.
All the service academies are occupied by this filth.
Lesbian in charge of AF academy, and how do you think she’ll “guide” the young minds under her charge.
Once you see a group of black female West Point cadets with the black power salute then you can tell the worm has turned. That’s why the military is getting more woke and it started with Don’t Ask Don’t Tell... and ended with two marines kissing each other in front of families and kids. f’ing disgusting POS.
She was the Commandant, and was fired in late 2019. Not sure about the orientation of the replacement.
How about less talk and a 50% cut in the defense budget? Clearly, they have far too much money if they can waste it on this nonsense.

Close down the academies. Turn the 90 day wonders into 360 day trainees. Just as effective.
Remind all that the GOP will have the House in 18 months and there might not be any money for institutions that foster this sort of racism.
<>This probably started when they were forced to accept women recruits, and later to reduce standards for those young women. That must have started the ball rolling — downhill!<>
