According to Campus Reform, “The U.S. Coast Guard Academy has disbanded its Office of Culture and Climate (OCC).”
In January, The Gateway Pundit reported that President Trump signed executive orders to root leftist ideology out of the military and prioritize lethality.
On January 27, the president signed four executive orders focused on the military, including the “Restoring America’s Fighting Force” executive order and the “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness” executive order.
These orders direct every element of the U.S. military to “operate free from any preference based on race or sex” and root out gender insanity and made-up pronoun usage, respectively.
While the U.S. Naval Academy continues to face legal challenges over race-conscious admissions policies, The Gateway Pundit reported that USNA also announced the closure of the institution’s DEI offices to fall in line with President Donald Trump’s Executive Orders.
Prior to this upheaval, woke programs were coming out of the OCC, and like other aspects of the military, their mission was diluted.
Previously, a commandant at the Coast Guard argued, “Diversity was definitely not there when I entered into the service. . . .The reason it’s critical is because diverse work teams outperform homogenous teams. They’re just stronger, more resilient, have better perspective and deeper strength of thought.”
Key members of Trump’s adminstation assert that this is false and what is needed is skill and cohesion. Race shouldn’t be a factor, and making race and religion factors is un-American.
Eventually, according to Campus Reform, this commandant was fired, with officials citing her excessive promotion of DEI.
The job of the military needs to be a fighting force that’s strong and unified not one that is as diverse as possible.
Government agencies and organizations should be focused on efficiency, and President Trump and his team have made great strides in making that possible.
In fact, as Campus Reform pointed out, “In October 2023, the nonprofit Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) sued the Academy, arguing that its “race-conscious admissions practice violates the Fifth Amendment’s equal protection principles.”
Between The Supreme Court striking down Affirmative Action and President Trump’s executive orders the tide is turning and the days of DEI and race-based government and military policies are over.
