Please do not comment if you are still serving in the Military in some capacity; a/o where potentially your job, livelihood, or position could be at risk.

You guys are scared of Marxism and praising MLK in the same sentence and that shows me y’all don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

And stop trying to quote MLK as well, he was one of the most hated individuals at the time and folks saw to it that he was silenced. Or did we forget what happened to him

How about this... wearing my uniform, didn't mean shit of we don't fight for the same thing. What happens outside of uniform is not the way we're taught and trained for. We all bleed red, no matter if you're gay, black or unknown growing cell. Democrats can't answer the simplest questions let alone define critical anything. We're not fighting amongst ourselves, groups are fighting because they don't know better.

Absolutely Not! CRT was developed by Leftists and Marxist who's only design is to set this diverse and free nation against one another...It has no place in our public or private educational system let alone our military academies....it will divide and conquer and allow our enemies to simply roll in through the aftermath rubble and plant their flags...although it may be already too late, many blue states like California are teaching this garbage as early as 2nd grade!

Absolutely not. The whole concept of critical race theory is racist and should not be tolerated or taught anywhere. All this does is cause disent between the races.

Facts should always be taught. CRT, basically, promotes factual history vs the more typical situation where the "winners" write the history. Many aspects of our history are not very pleasant but white washing (no pun intended) that history so we feel better is not a viable path to follow. The Army has to face it's history and , most importantly, learn from it how to move forward without repeating mistakes from the past.

we should not be teaching CRT anywhere, if you teach history as it is written you can explain the good and the bad of history and teach what not to go forward with. CRT focus' on just the bad and tends to repeat it, as if that is the correct way

Absolutely, this country is going to hell and the seditionist Trump-A-Fants would like to an Autocracy rather than a Democracy! It continues with this white privilege's thing! Every week there are warnings and we better get our act together. I have been around that block before, helping Blacks register to vote in the Carolina's in the 1960's and feel more radical (peacefully) than when I was protesting the Vietnam War. I protested before I went to Nam and after. Tomorrow I will be volunteering to help in a Memorial to Vets event and will still be looked at as a left over hippie. I have no problem with that as I speak my piece! If I were a Black person in the military I would be very angry at what is going on! Enough Ranting I have to rest for my day tomorrow. Have a thoughtful Memorial Day. Bill Culotta PNSN (Radar) so to speak!

TL;DR: It's divisive & counter-productive.

No, and because it IS based on Marxism. For those that clamor it is NOT, here's this from Discovery.org, "While European Marxism focused on class, a distinctly American brand of Marxism was brought to America in 1937 by scholars from the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, Germany, known commonly as the Frankfurt School, who left Nazi Germany to escape the Third Reich. They eventually landed in New York where they setup shop at the Columbia University Teachers’ College. While most of the Frankfurt scholars returned to Germany after the defeat of the Nazis, Herbert Marcuse stayed behind and became one of the leading spokesmen of Critical Theory (on which CRT is based) during the massive upheavals of the 1960s and early 1970s caused by riots and violence associated with the Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam movements. The focus shifted specifically to oppressed ethnic, racial, and gender groups."

However, the most telling aspect of it is this, " CRT argues that America’s legal, economic, and political systems are inextricably racist. It argues that racism advances only the interests of white elites materially and working-class whites mentally. CRT Chooses race-consciousness over the Enlightenment view of colorblindness as a societal norm. Since all whites benefit from an unearned advantage, race-consciousness remedies rectify this inherent injustice. CRT criticizes the civil-rights movement and the liberal ideology it promotes. The view is civil rights laws are limited to isolated discriminatory acts by individuals or businesses, when in fact discrimination continues to be both pervasive and systemic. CRT rejects the principle of equal opportunity, believing it to be a myth, and rejects conceptions of “merit” since only those in power determine what is equal or what has merit. Finally, CRT promotes equality of results instead of equality of opportunity."

Citing the discovery institute is like citing The Sun or The daily mail. It is a conservative think tank that pushes pseudoscience and believes the 2020 election was stolen.

I truly wish that they would stop calling it "critical race theory" first of all it is NOT being taught in American class rooms, second of all, call it by it's proper name American History. Why is it that we learned about the "Bataan Death March" but not about the "Trial of Tears"? Why is it that we learned about massacres in other countries but not about the 1921 Tulsa Oklahoma Race Massacre? Why is it that we learned what was done to the Jews, but not that Puerto Ricans were radiated and actually given cancer to study the effects? I'm an American and served my country for over 30 years in uniform and yes I am ashamed of some of the atrocities this country is guilty of, but have no problem showing the world that we can rise above it by showing the world we are willing to admit it and teach it so it doesn't happen again.
