A left Harvard Professor wakes up about DEI

“By overreaching, by resorting to compulsion, by forcing people to toe a political line, by imposing ideological litmus tests, by incentivizing insincerity, and by creating a circular mode of discourse that is seemingly impervious to self-questioning, the current DEI regime is discrediting itself. It would be hard to overstate the degree to which many academics at Harvard and beyond feel intense and growing resentment against the DEI enterprise."

--"Scholar on the Left" Harvard professor

Many STARRS leaders will be attending in-person and we encourage you to join us. Let us know if you can attend in-person and we'll get you on the list.

If you can't be there, register to watch by Zoom and tell them you're with STARRS and also your military affiliation. See for yourself the highest levels of DOD's obsession with race and gender and pushing a divisive agenda down on the military.

You can also submit a statement of your thoughts on CRT/DEI in the military. Statements will be given to all committee members to read before the meeting.

Deadline for registering or submitting a statement is Friday, 26 April.

MORE DETAILS/INFORMATION on how to register and/or submit a statement
