Can you be so focused on inclusivity that it results in more division and hate?

From day one the main goal of this administration has been to destroy from within and to push their Progressive agenda, this agenda's point of the spear has been "political correctness".
We in turn, have done absolutely nothing to reverse those trends, if we were to keep score based on years, the score would be "they" 7 "us" 0.

Yes. Every day I see more and more cases where this proves true. I've seen people get out of work, abuse their responsibilities and duties because no one wants to tell them no because it can cause EO complaints or other administrative reprisal. For instance: With the LGBT celebrations on base recently, I've seen people use them as an excuse to get out of work and not even attend. This type of behavior and fear of exclusion is toxic for the workplace and frankly, breeds hatred and fuels tempers where we need to grow positivly together.

I feel that it rubs people the wrong way when they are forced to be P/C or be ridiculed for not being,. which brings on unfriendly feelings towards the ones seeking P/C....Whomever they may be. Just my opinion on Human Nature.

While I have been out of the Navy 44 years, it does seem that when we get schooled/scolded on "diversity" and "inclusivity" we go backwards. I learned very quickly when living in close quarters aboard a destroyer that people are just people. Nobody told us anything about tolerance; it was learned behavior, understanding that people of all creeds, colors, races, etc. are pretty much just like me. I learned that to harbor prejudices was to just give myself problems.

Yes it does. Many of those who have already posted have very good points. Some fo this genuinely to be kind to everyone but I have found if you try to please everyone you alienate those you try to please. For those who make category's biased on race sex and so on, they only perpetuate the divisions. Such people never see beyond their own two eyes. I have found that if you focuse on skill ability strengths and willingness diversity and inclusion tend to be byproducts of genuinely ignoring appearances in favor of skills and ability's. It's interesting that to accomplish what everyone claims they want to do they need to ignore those things they focuse on.

What I hear the most from my friends who are still active duty, is that they are tired of having it shoved down their throat. They say that all of the "social training" is grating on their nerves. People work together in the military regardless of ethnicity, gender, orientation, or other classification issues. They do however, reserve the right of association. When the military begins to force association off duty, you will completely lose the esprit de corps (sp?) and engender unresolved anger and frustration. A cohesive, effective military fighting force should be the goal. Not complete social reengineering. Just an old guy's opinion....

I think that once senior leaders begin looking past the little part on our uniforms that says "U.S." (or, "US", as in, "just US") and look at the different shades of humanity, they've already classified and categorized us, thereby dividing us into separate groups of hyphenated-Americans. With those pre-established fault lines, it makes fracturing and dividing that much easier, and with that forms the natural "us vs. THEM" mentality among the weaker-minded personnel.

"Political Correctness" is like picking up a turd from the clean end!
It has replaced common courtesy and I find it exceedingly rude. PC needs to be replaced with "Patriotically Correct" aka acting right in public, showing manners, being polite, but calling a spade a spade! People are afraid to tell the truth anymore because there are too many 'cupcakes' out there who get offended by it.

Maj. Brewer, I don't think it is you on this issue. My opinion is that in this effort of PC and diversity, the opposit effect and affect has happened. Genuine dialogue has ceased, it feels the looking over the shoulder action before you speak has increased and some unsavory vibration pervades our interactions. The more the effort to be PC and "diverse", which I feel we already are as a Nation, the further everyone insulates themselves from any conversation about issues out of fear. Very distructive and polarizing.

I detest PC just for the sake of PC. The two most overused and disgusting words to me are welcoming and inclusive. These are excuse words for PC.
