Sneha Nair was appointed as special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration earlier this year. Her beliefs include nuclear disarmament, removing “White supremacy” in the nuclear field, and ‘queering nuclear weapons” as a part of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Nair believes that her DEI push is essential when it comes to deterring threats to nuclear energy facilities. Nair also advanced a “queer theory” concept dealing with nuclear justice struggle and disarmament.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A recent hire at the nuclear security wing of the Department of Energy has previously called for disarmament policies — which reduce or eliminate nuclear weapons — arguing that advancing “queer theory” was essential to that agenda as well as important to America’s national security.<\/p>\n

The Biden-Harris administration announced Sneha Nair had been appointed as special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration in February 2024. Nair believes in eradicating purported “White supremacy” in the nuclear field as well as “queering nuclear weapons” as part of a diversity, equity and inclusion push she believes is essential for deterring threats to nuclear energy facilities in the U.S.<\/p>\n

“Finally, queer theory informs the struggle for nuclear justice and disarmament,” she wrote last year. “Queer theory helps to shift the perception of nuclear weapons as instruments for security by telling the hidden stories of displacement, illness, and trauma caused by their production and testing.”<\/p>\n

Nair argues that DEI, more broadly, “is essential for creating effective nuclear policy.”<\/p>\n

Before she joined the administration, she worked for the Stimson Institute, which has received hundreds of thousands from Soros’ Open Society Foundations and millions from “The Embassy of the State of Qatar” over the years, Fox News Digital’s review of their funding sources revealed.<\/p>\n

Stimson and the Department of Energy were contacted for comment for this story but did not respond.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
