The Army removed a slide on systemic racism one of its instructors wedged into official training materials without authorization, a spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation on Wednesday.
The slide, which said racism is ingrained U.S. institutions including current laws, housing and education, and asserted “whites are responsible for the current racial bias in culture of today and tomorrow,” was first disclosed late Monday by the account Libs of TikTok on the social media platform X.
SCOOP: Mandatory training for military members teaches that America was founded on racism, and parents are too ignorant and dumb to teach their children about it. They think parents need to stay out of their kids’ education and shouldn’t have a say in what they learn.

An instructor at the Army’s Command and General Staff College (CGSC) created the slide in 2023 and, once notified, the Army made sure it was removed for failing to meet the service’s education standards, Sarah Hauck, a spokesperson for Army University, told the DCNF.
“A slide currently being circulated on social media is not from approved Army curriculum. It was created by an instructor in 2023 and inserted, without permission, into an official slide deck they modified,” Houck said.
CGSC, a sub-organization of Army University that serves as “immediately and appropriately” dealt with the situation once notified, according to Houck.
Houck did not identify the instructor. After the incident, the CGSC put the instructor responsible through “re-education” and required the individual be recertified, she said.
Libs of TikTok characterized the materials as “mandatory training,” but Houck said that was incorrect.
“The material on the slide is not part of Command and General Staff School (CGSC) curriculum, is not mandatory training, nor does it meet the standards of education our institution stands for,” Houck said.
The slide described race as a fictional construct and condemned the U.S. public school system for failing to teach children how to understand and discuss systemic racism, using that as a further example of how the U.S. is fundamentally biased against the black population.
Individual or collective biases show up in what parents teach their children “because they are a failed product of the exact same system” and do not have the will or ability to “have the discussion at home,” the slide alleged.
“The Army University is committed to preparing graduates to be confident, competent leaders with current and thought-challenging curriculum taught by professional educators who are experts in their fields,” Houck said. “Curriculum development and delivery is taken seriously and meets the high standards of the Army.”

Here’s the thing about this.

“Here’s the thing about this.
This is not from some random quartermaster platoon at Camp Swampy.
This from the United States Army’s Command and General Staff College. That is a formal school at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas where the Army’s new majors go to study for a year to learn how to take that next step up in the corporation. Attendees at this school will go all across the Army, be leading staffs and units, have significant influence over soldiers, and some of them are guaranteed to be four-star generals in 15-20 years or so, leading the whole institution.
They are being brainwashed with this evil, racist crap, and they are all going to go along because they are midway through their careers and will not rock the boat because they want that nice retirement package. They are going to take this racism, embrace it, and spread it across the entire institution like cancer cells invading a healthy body.
This is bad. This is really bad.
This is even worse than it appears. This is tragic.”
This is in no way surprising. The Army’s Combined Arms Center is so enthusiastic about DEI in officer development that they publicized it in the CGSC Foundation alumni magazine last year. pic.twitter.com/LvJ5vRweSe
