The US Navy is now ideologically committed to the stupid mantra that “diversity is strength".
It is infecting itself lethally with Critical Race Theory (CRT).
CRT questions equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism, and neutral principles of constitutional law. CRT rejects the founding principles of the American nation reflected in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution that every Navy sailor and officer has sworn an oath to support and defend. CRT seeks to rewrite the history of the country, to replace its principles of governance, and reorder civic relations. CRT would replace colorblind equality of opportunity with equity—equal outcomes based on racial identity. As recent statements by the Chief of Naval Personnel indicate, the Navy is now explicitly considering race in officer promotions contrary to the guidance of 5 U.S.C. 2301: “Selection and advancement should be determined solely on the basis of relative ability, knowledge, and skills after fair and open competition which assures that all receive equal opportunity.
Disingenuous question: Is this development putting the nation at risk?
