Military embrace of CRT leads to less confidence in senior leaders

Joint Chiefs chair on Critical Race Theory: I find it offensive that our military officers would be accused of being "woke"

You get accused of "being woke" when you spout CRT crap.  The Admiral who was questioned about Kendi's BS book sounded nearly incoherent in his attempt to justify the use of the book on a reading list.

But it sure is interesting that Milley would tie “white rage” to the January 6 insurrection, which I assume Waltz didn’t do. “This general thinks that studying CRT will help him understand 1/6. That’s a revealing remark,” tweeted Andrew Sullivan. It is.

It’s also revealing how Milley pivots from CRT to a brief tour through American history, from slavery to the Civil War to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. “What is wrong with understanding, having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend?” he asks. A core point made by opponents of Critical Race Theory, though, is that it’s not essential to understanding U.S. history. If anything, it distorts history by reducing it to a series of power struggles between racial blocs. You can teach slavery and the civil-rights movement, they insist, without bundling CRT’s dogma about “whiteness” and structural racism into it.

There has been a tendency to overstate the importance of what happened on January 6.  The people who breached the Capitol building were a tiny fraction of the people who gathered to support Trump.  At this point, it is not clear that all of them were Trump supporters or that their grievances had anything to do with race.
