Democrat Congressman claims CRT not being taught at West Point and only discussed by Republicans interested in “scoring political points or what’s gonna get you more likes on Twitter or hits on Fox News”
As we reported in July of last year after extensive study, critical race theory has “established a beachhead” at the military service academies, including the United States Military Academy at West Point.
In December, we held a live seminar called Saving the Military Service Academies from Wokeness with former Space Force Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lohmeier, author of the bestselling book, Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military, published in May 2021. For publishing and speaking publicly about his book, then-Lieutenant Colonel Lohmeier was relieved of his command and subjected to an Inspector General investigation within the Pentagon. Lohmeier then joined veteran-led nonprofit group STARRS (Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services) and actively works to educate Americans about the dangers of racist and radical ideologies infiltrating our military. The video from the event is here:
We have also repeatedly reported on critical race theory’s inroads specifically at West Point here:
- December 15, 2016: West Point Holds Annual ‘Transgender Day of Remembrance’
- May 7, 2021: West Point Now Allegedly Pushing Critical Race Theory on Cadets
- June 22, 2022: Critical Race and Gender Ideology Infiltrating West Point, Judicial Watch Reports
- July 30, 2022: West Point Alum Warns the School is Going Woke
- January 1, 2023: West Point To Remove Robert E. Lee Portrait and Other Confederate Artifacts
We have documented West Point’s incorporation of CRT into its current curriculum at CriticalRace.org. As we show in the West Point section of the database, slides used for cadet training reference ‘Modern Day Slavery,’ ‘Racial Inequality and Slavery,’ ‘Whiteness’ as ‘Race Privilege,’ ‘How White Networks Exclude Black Men from Blue-Collar Jobs,’ ‘Queer Theory,’ and ‘Critical Race Theory.’” “Cadets at West Point are required to attend a mandatory seminar…covering ‘White Power at West Point’ and ‘Understanding Whiteness and White Rage.’”
