‘Racism Was Ingrained In The System From The Beginning,’ U.S. Air Force Prof Who Teaches Critical Race Theory Says Of Military

A U.S. Air Force Academy professor who teaches Critical Race Theory (CRT) to cadets preached in The Washington Post that George Washington was a racist, the United States was founded partly on “inequality, inegalitarianism and second-class citizenship,” and “racism was ingrained in the system from the beginning, and the military still struggles with these issues.”

Lynne Chandler García, an associate professor of political science at the U.S. Air Force Academy, began by referring to the recent appearance by Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley before Congress in which he defended teaching CRT in the military. García argued that his testimony “shows that it is not unpatriotic to understand a fuller version of American history, nor does it promote division among our military members.”
