Both civilian and military personnel with the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) are being asked by the Pentagon to attend virtual conferences focusing on “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” in order to boost their “professional development,” according to a Breitbart exclusive.
The emails making the requests were sent in April and May by JSOC’s Civilian Training Office, claiming that the conferences that would normally cost “$500 a session per person” are now available “at no cost” to personnel, and would both be virtual and broadcast at JSOC’s compound in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
There were three different conferences promoted by the email: “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” “Change & Transformation,” and “Emotional Well-Being.” The diversity conference would include four different panels: “Inclusive leadership for building equitable organizations,” “psychological safety and belonging,” “restorative justice, community trauma, and the partisan divide,” and “racism, white supremacy, and anti-racism.”
The panel on “emotional well-being” was described as including discussions about “the impact of such events as the murder of George Floyd,” incorrectly describing Floyd’s death as a murder when, in fact, he died of a fatal fentanyl overdose.
The email encouraging members to attend claimed that doing so would “expose you to new ideas and perspectives, perhaps some you hadn’t thought of before. A wealth of new knowledge can come from actively participating in professional development courses.”
This marks only the latest instance of far-left racial propaganda being promoted in the United States military. One week ago, the Acting Secretary of the Navy unveiled a similar plan to introduce “diversity, equity, and inclusion” training in the Navy. All of these ideas fall under the banner of Critical Race Theory, a far-left and widely-debunked conspiracy theory which claims that America is a fundamentally racist nation, and that all White people are automatically racist simply because they are White.
