A diversity and inclusion training by the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado instructs cadets to use words that "include all genders" and to refrain from saying things like "mom" and "dad." The slide presentation titled, "Diversity & Inclusion: What it is, why we care, & what we can do," obtained by Fox News Digital, advises cadets to use "person-centered" and gender-neutral language when describing individuals.
"Some families are headed by single parents, grandparents, foster parents, two moms, two dads, etc.: consider ‘parent or caregiver’ instead of ‘mom and dad,'" the presentation states. "Use words that include all genders: ‘Folks’ or ‘Y’all’ instead of ‘guys’; ‘partner’ vs. ‘boyfriend or girlfriend.’"

How own earth do we put a stop to this------our military is supposed to protect us, not proselytize. Where does this come from: Biden and his minions, the "top
brass" at the military, where?

Is it now the "Air Head Academy"? Not what a serious military should be worried about IMO.

This is a clear violation of the 1st Amendement. Where are the limp wrist republicans? How can any Gov agency tell the people what they can and cannot say? This is like a twilight zone episode.

January 20, 2025 direct from the podium at the US Capitol. As President all four star generals in charge of the services and the chairman of the joint chiefs are relieved of command immediately, to be replaced by the following… Also the chiefs of CIA, FBI, NSA, FDA,CDC, DHS, TSA are fired immediately and replaced by the following… All government personnel will have an immediate records review and fired if they do not meet the standards of our administration. There will be no pomp and circumstance today, no parades, no balls, we are going to work immediately to Save America.

Funny how kids with a mom and a dad are not permitted to join the inclusivity parade. Why is it that someone with a mom and a dad can’t say my “mom” or “my dad” or “my mom and dad”? It’s apparently okay to exclude them from diversity and inclusion. DEI (more properly DIE, I think) is oxymoronic.

Training in progressive “newspeak” is ungood and unsmart. It is designed to prevent one from being able say such concepts that progressive “newspeak” is evil and stupid.

Our military is FULL of woke circle jerking morons. I noticed when I was in the military, all the really good people got out and the butt kissing jerks stayed and were promoted by other butt kissing jerks. Jerks promoting other jerks. In the end, the military is saturated with the worst America has to offer. You only have to look at General Milley to see what I mean. The days of the General MacArthur type is over and has been for a long time. Notice how we can't seem to win wars anymore?

Communists keep dividing the family and races. They also love to change the words acceptable to use. They don't like "illegal alien" because that states exactly what they are and it might "hurt someone's feelings", so that changed that to "undocumented immigrants" and lately all I've heard them called is migrants which would make them seem as if they are no different than any citizen that moves to another area of the country. No, they are still criminals, thus they are still illegal aliens. They have used the word racism so much it has lost it's meaning. According to them trees and math are racist. Change wordings, tear down families, tear down historic icons, do all they can to destroy history and anything American.

What's next, a political officer in every unit who reports via a separate chain of command to the diversity commissar who has the power of life or death over the military? When I was a young 2LT the AF tried this garbage via a "self recognition" period of reflection in which junior officers in Professional Military Education classes were to gather in an informal setting and talk about how they strengthen their character through confession of transgressions in a group setting. We recognized it for what it was and gathered at the club and had a drink and confessed we needed another drink.

@#1 - It comes straight from the Oval Office. It's all about doing what they are told or lose their cushy pensions, comfortable offices, staff and most of all the prestige that comes with being part of the top military brass. This is our govt. There's no going back now.

I will always refer to my parents as my mommy and daddy and you can't make me stop calling them that.

They think they have the authority to drop the terms "mom" and "dad"? God help us.

The Air Force Academy public affairs officer bragged about their commandant taking "firm and definitive actions against a racist event", even though the "racist event" turned out to be a hoax within days. And he was bragging about it two years later. Sadly, the Air Force Academy went woke years ago. Send your kids to a vocational school.

So, is “my parental units” the only thing acceptable? SNL was way ahead of it’s time back when it was actually funny.

I cannot tell you how dangerous this is, when our armed forces are being taught such garbage instead of being taught to kill people and break things. How the hell is the military supposed to protect America from a common enemy who is determined to conquer us? Throw pronouns at them?
