Diversity training, at the U.S. Air Force Academy, requires the use of inclusive words. Inclusiveness must include “all genders”. The words “mom”, “dad”, and other words that specify male or female as traditionally understood, should be replaced with inclusive words. This is some of the information that Fox News obtained from a slideshow presentation from the U.S. Air Force Academy.<\/p>\n

The diversity and inclusion (D&I) training also includes an exercise asking cadets to separate into small groups and write down as many “G-Animals,” or animals that start with the letter “G,” that they can think of in one minute\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

“What does this activity show us about the power of combining our diverse perspectives??” the activity asks. “If this were an operational USAF\/USSF [United States Space Force] challenge (think COA [course of action] development) what risks might be present if we did not fully leverage the diversity of our group?”<\/p>\n

One slide in the presentation claims that D&I training is critical for “developing warfighters” to be “prepared to lead the USAF\/USSF with character.”<\/p>\n

“How can we Lift Others (motivate our teams) if we don\u2019t know our people?” it asks. “How can we Elevate Performance if we don\u2019t include people during planning and execution??”<\/p>\n

“Today we are preparing to face challenges that may not exist today,” the training says. “For example, Information Warfare only became a career field 7 years ago, and we stood up the Space Force in 2019. This makes our need to innovate critical. Thus, our leaders have deemed D&I a warfighting imperative.”<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the training, cadets are assured that “what\u2019s said here, stays in the room (let’s have each other’s backs)?,” and cadets were instructed not to “share people’s stories with their name\/identifiers).”<\/p>\n

The presentation also asks cadets to finish prompts like, “What I think about me in terms of who I am,” “What others think about me,” “What might be misunderstood about me” and “How squad\/classmates can help me feel valued.”<\/p>\n

At the end of the presentation, cadets are informed about additional D&I resources on the academy\u2019s Colorado Springs campus, including a “D&I Reading Room” and “Affinity groups.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
