It was at West Point where I first raised my right hand and took the oath to defend our Constitution,\u201d he wrote. \u201cMy professors there taught me the importance of serving our nation \u2014 both in uniform and in public office.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>\u201cTeaching our next generation that our country is fundamentally racist is not only propagandizing lies about our great nation, it will also undoubtedly leave an impact on our nation\u2019s Armed Forces and national security,\u201d he added. \u201cIf we want servicemembers who are proud to defend this country, we must not denigrate the very principles upon which it was founded. Making them ashamed of their country will only decrease morale, retention, and unit cohesion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>He added, \u201cCritical Race Theory teaches that the only way to right past racial discrimination is with present racial discrimination. This teaching is utterly incompatible with the principles in the Declaration of Independence and the Civil Rights Movement \u2014 not to mention illegal. Our country already lived through a horrific era when people were judged by the color of their skin rather than by the content of their character \u2014 we must never go back to this way of thinking.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIf we allow this destructive ideology to be taught in our Military Service Academies, we will be responsible for this nation\u2019s demise.
