Anxious teachers have removed Pride flags and posters promoting “gender ideology” are forbidden at the school serving U.S. military families that 18-year-old Finn Dwyer attends.
The Pentagon has moved swiftly to restrict access to learning materials covering subjects including immigration and psychology in its global network of schools as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Dwyer and other students who spoke to The Washington Post say they worry it’s only the beginning.
“It makes you wonder, ‘What is the next move?’ … It’s unpredictable to an extent, and it’s scary because of that,” said Dwyer, a senior at Ramstein High School in Germany who organized a walkout involving hundreds of classmates this month to protest the removal of materials from libraries and curriculums.
Student-led walkouts have occurred on military facilities in Wiesbaden, Ramstein, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern in Germany; Camp Humphreys in South Korea; and at bases in Kadena, Okinawa and Yokosuka in Japan, with dozens or hundreds of students participating in most locations. Students are increasingly communicating online about their plans, they said, and a larger walkout is planned for April involving as many as 25 of the 160 schools operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA).
“Our schools are kind of almost becoming a political playground,” said Mary Hardy, 16, a high school junior in Kadena, where dozens of students recently walked out of school in a short protest. “Things are being taken out of the classroom, but they’re not being taken out the same across DoDEA, so it’s creating all these gaps, and it’s placing all these kids at significant disadvantages.”

Seems to that removing grooming materials from the classroom will only cause “significant disadvantages” for the homosexual predators.
“It makes you wonder whats next? “…… stfu. What ever needs to be done to get the US military back to the cohesive lethal fighting force it once was.
The military was turned inside out and just like economy , things need to be brought back to the basics.
I knew a jerk or two in highschool like this as well. There is at least one in every crowd.
Hogg wannabee...
"It's unpredictable to an extent" - coming from a senior in high school. So does that mean it's also predicable to an extent? Sounds like more schooling is in order for Dwyer.
Hopefully the historical reasons why there is an American student presence at a high school in Germany will be part of his education. Either from the school or his family.

Yeah “learning materials”, leftist BS and grooming propaganda.
There is no basis for the rest of the world to change to accommodate their demands.
What we have are:
- Kids who've been sexually abused and are trying to cope,
- Parents who want to be "cool" who've groomed their kid,
- Kids desperate to find acceptance.
If I were a teacher at a DoDDS school, I would schedule a test that day.
Hegseth can fix this immediately. Save the Pentagon a fortune by making all overseas tours 18 months UNACCOMPANIED. Tell the troops to leave their little DEI azhos home. No use wasting taxapayer dollars on the little azhos if they are going to be out “protesting” for their worthless “teachers”.
courtmartial their parents.
Someone should point out to this 16 year old that it is the Left that transformed schools into "political playgrounds" with LGBTQ, DEI, and Transgenderism, and the schools are performing at the lowest achievement levels in American history, and in the current world, putting us at #40 in school achievement.
It wasn't conservatives that did this, young lady. It was the people who have brainwashed you.
“dozens of students recently walked out of school in a short protest”.
DOZENS! Out of over 800 students at Kadena High School. In other words, they’re trying to make these “protests” into far more than they really are.
The media makes it sound like everyone is against Drumpf and that the left is winning across the board.
I hope another kid kicks this leftist kid’s ass!
It seems that Hegseth is the one who has authority over these schools. He’s the type who’ll have this ended by the end of the month.
Nah, I’d say the Peter puffer has been indoctrinated enough. He can get a job in tue real world where this kind of garbage doesn’t fly.
His old man (presumably a serviceman) should kick his ass!
And the sooner the better.
