In a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the implementation of critical race theory (CRT) within the military's educational institutions. A speaker highlighted that despite a ruling suggesting otherwise, CRT has not been fully addressed within the military framework, particularly in the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), which is the largest school system globally.

The speaker criticized the teachings of Calissa Wing, the former head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in DoDEA, asserting that her materials promote what they termed \"woke ideology.\" They described these teachings as divisive and detrimental to military cohesion, arguing that they foster a narrative of oppression and victimhood that could undermine the unity necessary for effective military service.

The discussion also touched on the potential implications for military recruitment, suggesting that if children of military families are indoctrinated with these ideologies, it could lead to a disconnect between them and the values of the military. This concern is particularly pressing given current recruitment challenges faced by the armed forces.

The speaker concluded by emphasizing the influence of political decisions on these educational policies, warning that the ongoing promotion of CRT could have long-lasting effects on the military's ability to attract and retain personnel.
