The U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) has gone woke. It is now telling cadets in their diversity and inclusion classes that they are to use words that \u201cinclude all genders\u200b\u201d and stop saying things like \u201cmom and dad\u201d or \u201cboyfriend and girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n
The slide presentation, titled \u201cDiversity and Inclusion: What it is, why we care, and what we can do,\u201d informs cadets they should \u201cinclude all genders,\u201d use \u201cperson-centered language,\u201d and \u201crecognize diverse family formation\u201d in the language they use,\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to a Fox News report. Cadets\u00a0are also instructed<\/a>\u00a0to \u201cask\u201d people what they \u201ccall themselves\u201d rather than assuming.<\/p>\n \u201cSome families are headed by single parents, grandparents, foster parents, two moms, two dads, etc.: consider \u2018parent or caregiver\u2019 instead of \u2018mom and dad,’\u201d the presentation states. \u201cUse words that include all genders\u200b: \u2018Folks\u2019 or \u2018Y\u2019all\u2019 instead of \u2018guys\u2019; \u2018partner\u2019 vs. \u2018boyfriend or girlfriend.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n The assault on the young minds of these USAFA cadets in the form of the required diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) classes was birthed by President Biden\u2019s DEI\u00a0executive order<\/a>\u00a0for all federal employees, including the military. Since then, the military has suffered from\u00a0low recruitment<\/a>\u00a0numbers, partly due to the \u201cwokeness\u201d infiltrating the armed services.<\/p>\n
