Press Release

News Updates – 24 Feb 22

STARRS News:

STARRS Article on Diversity. STARRS Vice President for External Affairs Brigadier General Chris Petty has written an article on the negative influence of Diversity Programs on our military.

Critical Race Theory’s influence on the military which is increasing all the time in the form of forced Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion implementation, damages our forces, lowers morale, creates division, and harms readiness. The article and General Petty’s biography can be found by accessing the link at the end of this press release.

STARRS Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Update:

Beginning in August of 2020, STARRS began filing FOIA requests with the academies related to diversity programs in the services that we became aware of through complaints from cadets or midshipmen and their parents. To date 20 have been filed with very little responsive results. Four have been closed and even for those closed, the answers were not properly responsive. Sixteen are pending.

Most have been acknowledged and assigned to a party to process but documents are not forthcoming. The oldest of them is now over 16 months old and still pending. Why such long delays if there is nothing to hide? For a full summary of STARRS’ FOIA requests, go to the link at the end of this press release. The public has a right to know what is going on at our academies.
