For months we have been told that Critical Race Theory is not being taught in public schools, which we all know is a lie. What could be worse than that? How about CRT being taught at West Point?
This poisonous, leftist ideology has worked its way into military training.
Our Navy is teaching proper use of pronouns and cadets at West Point are reportedly being taught CRT and gender ideology. What could go wrong?
KOMO News reports:
Documents show CRT, gender ideology being taught at West PointWatchdog group Judicial Watch released documents Monday showing the United States Military Academy at West Point is infusing controversial lesson plans into its courses.Judicial Watch was forced to serve the U.S. Department of Defense with a Freedom of Information Act request after the group’s initial requests for instructional materials were denied.Among the materials uncovered by Judicial Watch were presentations about “whiteness,” “Critical Race Theory and Policy” and “Queer Theory and Policy.”One presentation included a graphic discussing “modern day slavery in the USA,” while another instructed students to discuss “How White Networks Exclude Black Men from Blue-Collar Jobs.”
Here’s more from the Judicial Watch report:

Tom Fitton talked about this on FOX News yesterday. This video is cued to start at the 3:52 mark, just press play:
I hate to say it, but I fear Jesse Kelly is right.
Is it too dramatic for me to say that I think all of this woke nonsense is putting America’s national security at risk?
