Should we be teaching Critical Race Theory in our military universities and perhaps in our leadership courses?

"We needed the Taliban to protect us" - what?

So, you think that people should be taught how to be a racist and that the military is all about racism? Because that is what CRT is.

TSgt Melvin Mitchell - CRT is much more than that, it is a device to divide and destroy our country from within, can you imagine what it would do to kids? That is the main reason they fight so hard for it, education has been infiltrated here for years.

Some seem to think (incorrectly I might add) that the alternative to CRT is to ignore the history of slavery and racism in America. This is a very false choice. Of course there was slavery in America prior to the Civil War, as there was in almost every country on Earth at some time in human history. In fact slavery was the norm, the absence of slavery was a rare exception among humans. But America was not founded on the basis of having a place to practice slavery. Slavery was just a fact of life in the world that was utilized in parts of the "New World". Those that believe, as CRT teaches, that slavery was responsible for the economic success of the new nation of America conveniently ignore the reality that the non-slave North was the economic success, while the slave using South was relatively impoverished. CRT preaches racial responsibility, which is an absurd concept. As a White second generation American I am no more responsible for slavery than are the descendants of slaves themselves, and I refuse to ignorantly accept such responsibility. Do we hold little Japanese children today responsible for the bombing of Pearl Harbor? Of course not. While racism still exists, and probably always will, America is as close to a racism-free nation as anywhere on Earth. The law protects all, regardless of race, so "institutional racism" is a corrected problem of the past. CRT is just another Marxist type effort to control people by treating them not as individuals but as members of a group, and is as useless as was Marx's attempt to separate people into the groups of proletariats and capitalist masters. Marx could not even explain how a farmer that employed farm hands (as a capitalist) was also one of the oppressed by being subject to the power of the aristocracy.

CRT is wrong, CRT is Racist, CRT divides, CRT destroys.

We shouldn't teach our kids to think???

SGT Baptist!
Any and all has an opinion or theory about CRT. Opinions/theory is what "spins feelings and truth". As long as that's present maybe we can fuse the goodness out of it and omit the hatred, then we can become to break ground and move forward, until then everyone needs to check realistic views/physical actions from the beginning of time.

You can't change the past.

Reverse racism is just plain racism. people like the gentleman who wrote CRT are racist to their core. The only reason to write such a farce is to incite hatred towards white people. In the Military there is one color.....GREEN. We defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and Domestic. There is a difference between an enemy and a Patriot.
