Summary
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is working to remove “woke” policies from the Pentagon, and Senator Jim Banks has secured an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to support this effort. The amendment aims to reverse Biden-era diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in hiring, communication, and training at the Pentagon. It would focus on merit, qualifications, and leadership in promotions, rather than diversity standards. The amendment would also repeal provisions related to gender identifiers and personal pronouns in official communications.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Senator Jim Banks has added an amendment to the NDAA to support Secretary Hegseth’s efforts to remove “woke” policies from the Pentagon. The amendment targets DEI practices, focusing on merit and leadership in promotions. Hegseth has pushed for the Pentagon to prioritize lethality and merit over diversity standards. The amendment would also shift focus from DEI training to instruction on military values. The process of removing “woke” policies from the Pentagon has entered a familiar phase, with a focus on promoting a “warrior mentality” and raising standards.
