West Point teaching cadets ‘Critical Race Theory,’ ‘queer theory’ and ‘whiteness,’ docs reveal
American Military News ^ | 06/21/2022 | Ryan Morgan

New documents released through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show that the U.S. Military Academy at West Point is instructing its cadets on “Critical Race Theory,” and “queer theory” and teaching that “Whiteness” entails structural advantages and race privilege.

On Monday the conservative government transparency watchdog group Judicial Watch released copies of documents it recently obtained through FOIA requests, showing various educational materials being presented to cadets at West Point.

Included in the documents released to Judicial Watch was a course description for a three-credit course titled “The Politics of Race, Gender, and Sexuality.” Among the course materials is the third edition of Jean Stefancic and Richard Delgado’s work “Critical Race Theory: An Introduction,” which is one of the founding works on the controversial critical race theory. The course description states that classes will “serve as an introduction to the theoretical concepts of post-modernism” including “a focus on feminist theory, critical race theory, and queer theory.”

“Finally, the class will consider how the contemporary issues that relate to race, gender, and sexuality apply to the army and how they impact the army officer,” the course description concludes…

How can our “best and brightest” lead without “queer theory” and “critical race theory” to guide their moral compass?

The course comes right after “Flat Earth 101 and Phrenology 102”, with horse Calvary lessons that afternoon. I’m sure the same leftist excrement is dripping from the other academies. It’s a shame we don’t have some Supts at each one that actually had courage.

From time to time, Steve Bannon has his daughter, Capt. Bannon on his “War Room” podcast.

Steve’s daughter went to West Point and is now out of the military.

She mentioned on “War Room” that cadets at West Point apologized to minority cadets for being white.

Pathetic.

Wonder when the military will start discreetly reaching out to old Cold Warriors to return to service?

I had a TS/SCI and I’m 47 y/o…

I guess it depends how many countries the Neocons want to go to war with…

Listen up, enemies of the United States! You may torture our prisoners of war, at will - but if you misgender their pronouns, there will be a tribunal!!

I probably shouldn’t say this, but I work with tons of academy grads in my job, typically AF or Navy, but some West Point.

They used to be the best, but have been very disappointing for 10+ years.

Marine aviators being the exception.

Much better are warrant officers who worked up and got commission or former ROTC guys from one of your southern schools (Texas A&M, in particular).

I can confirm the same thing happening at the Naval Academy.

This has to be reversed, and soon. If not, we are done.

The only thing that might conceivably save us is that China is also full of crazy ideology that holds it back (Winnie the Pooh, anyone?).

But even so, what would we be fighting to save? We no longer have the Western civilization that we once knew and loved.

This has been happening for a while.

Last year the newspaper in our little town ran an article celebrating the graduation from West Point of one of our favorite sons.

The freshly minted officer was going to be trained on a major rocket system - but before being trained to fight he was going to intern at a social justice museum for several months.

Repeat: BEFORE he was trained to fight.

The article also stated that as a student at the academy he had done a thesis on . . . the life of a well-known social justice warrior.

And what have the West Point graduates, past and presently active military, have to say about this? Crickets. Can we infer that our military is and has been led by moral cowards?

Instead of teaching them how to fight they are teaching them how to surrender.

Our elite military officer training academies have been infiltrated for a very long time with anti-American propaganda. When I chatted on a plane over 20 years ago with the wife of a career U.S. Navy officer, she tearfully and with great anguish told me that the officers and new recruits were being required to take course from new Islamist faculty who had been hired for the faculty and were brainwashing all the officers and new academy students with hard core Islamist propaganda that makes the U.S. and Izrael our to be bad. The facade called “multicultural” had just become the rage, pushed by Marxist/Islamist partnership of propagandists.

Exactly! I have a feeling that their plan for America and the world is both Marxist and Islamic. Satan is not divided against Satan. He uses all his legions!

Yes. In the 90s the cultural Marxists saw the military as the last bastion of real America, and they went after it. That what the “Tail Hook” fraud and many other PR stunts were about - coming up with pretexts to “reform” the military in the image of the left. Our military would struggle against the Chinese and do poorly against the Russians in a straight up conventional war. The Ds mainly see the military as a tool for social change here AND a weapon to be used against the domestic enemies of the left. Old folks here can’t get past their antique “thank you for your service” 1980s outlook. The academies are corrupt and are brainwashing the officer corps. Each class from the academies is dragging our military farther and farther toward being a potential domestic army of occupation acting as enforcers of left’s vision for America. The only good things are that our officer corps is increasingly incompetent and there are still some patriots in the military.

Let’s go Brandon!

Gen. Milley is taking down our military. Seems the military will know how to address a queer but won’t know how to aim a firearm. Mess with China or Russia and you better know what you are doing.
