Amendment To Ban Critical Race Theory Programs For DoD Employees

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) promotes an amendment to the NDAA to ban CRT in the DoD.

Watch:

Rep Luna: “My Amendment would prohibit CRT training for employees of the Department of Defense or members of the Air Force.

The primary focus of our military should be Mission Readiness and lethality.

Unfortunately many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have continued to push for diversity equity and inclusion to the detriment of our servicemen and women.

Divisive ideologies like CRT have no place in our military.

Our service members should be learning the critical and often life-saving skills that help them and their fellow service members stay alive when they are deployed rather than having training hours diverted to force CRT and race-based training.

As a veteran I know firsthand that our service members are not concerned about CRT training or DEI in the military. In fact our service members care about the skills and qualifications that prepare them for war.

When service members are wounded, they do not talk or they do not care about how diverse their Medics are. They care that the Medics responding to them in their time of need are qualified and trained with skills to keep them alive.

It is beyond time that we stop prioritizing CRT and other divisive ideologies that are weakening our military and putting our nation’s security at risk.

We will gut CRT from our nation’s military with this NDAA.

We are one nation, one people and this majority body believes in Unity over division and Merit over identity.”
