Space Force Officer Relieved After Denouncing CRT/Marxism
- Thread starter RoarkJr.
- Start date
Is it possible that the aliens depicted in the declassified "Gimbal" and "Tic Tac" videos directed him to do it?
Unlikely, in my opinion. For one, the other branch heads did not do this, so that would likely rule out SECDEF. SECNAV just took over in January and I doubt the first thing he did was start dictating the CNO reading list, which was put out in February (and likely mostly built much earlier).
Much more likely he just thought it was a good idea, either because he just did or because he thought such woke BS would play well with his new bosses. Equally likely is someone on his staff threw it on there and CNO signed off on it without fully understanding what the book advocates, and now finds himself between either admitting it was a mistake or defending it anyway.

Point of order, we don't have a SECNAV. Harker is acting SECNAV, and he was an OSD bean counter before that, so hardly the visionary Navalist that our service needs at the helm.
This seems...relevant? I also didn't realize that ~35k watching something on the internets constituted as 'blowing up' nowadays.
Need more detail. What was happening?
Read the guy's comments on his YouTube, it'll give you somewhat a sense of what he is talking about.

It's about CRT in school districts, which is a hot topic now, and the 35k views is only YouTube. It's on several other sites/platforms.
Is it being taught in school districts?
As far as I can tell from reading this thread and some varied sources that school districts are considering how they teach and address equity. Some of this includes providing non-white perspectives in the classroom and some included attempts to identify and address individuals and groups who may need extra resources. Somewhere in the national discourse the word equity was linked to CRT* so now it's become a dog whistle for local groups to engage with their school districts on what they're presenting to students and whether it's teaching or indoctrination of the wrong sort.
*CRT in it's "traditional" definition is a legal approach/framework that attempts to address systemic racism. It seems to be upsetting because of the notion that there may be systemic racism and that power structures might be built to advantage some and not others. Apparently this is shocking to people. In addition some seem to not understand how the idea of acknowledging systemic racism can coexist with treating people equally. Because CRT was already viewed negatively and it relates to equity the right has attempted to make CRT an umbrella term and make it into the next hill to die on in the forever culture wars.

This is entirely correct.
Again,
There is a conflation of two things.
1 does not equal 2.
1 is a good thing, and something I stand behind and encourage others to do as well.
2 is a threat, and isnt hypothetical. Real schools are having real fights about this. CRT is proposed across many districts, but more importantly it’s already implemented in many others.

- Cultural awareness and diversity instruction, along with teaching from non-white perspectives.
- CRT, which proposes the most important thing about a person is their skin color, the USA is inherently and irredeemably racist, and that all whites are oppressors and all POC are victims.
