Republicans are accusing the Biden administration of using the Department of Defense to push “woke garbage” after Fox News Digital reported a series of disparaging tweets about White people by the chief diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) officer in the department’s education wing.
Kelisa Wing is the DEI chief at Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), which provides K-12 education to the DoD community in the U.S. and all over the world. After Fox News Digital reached out for comment for Tuesday’s story, Wing’s Twitter was put on private, but she did not respond.
She wrote in June 2020, “I’m exhausted with these white folx in these [professional development] sessions.”
“[T]his lady actually had the CAUdacity to say that black people can be racist too… I had to stop the session and give Karen the BUSINESS… [W]e are not the majority, we don’t have power,” she continued.

“White privilege hurts a lot of people. If you are White you might feel bad about hurting others or you might feel afraid to lose this privilege,” the book, “What is White Privilege?” said.
It said that, “Overcoming White privilege is a job that must start with the White community.”
“[W]ill you really feel good at the end of the race when you look back and see others fighting obstacles that you didn’t even have?” the book added.

The book was reportedly taken down for review along with other radical-left titles by a Florida district, according to a nonprofit that monitors books taken down from the shelves.
“Honored to be involved with work that causes good trouble,” Wing said on Twitter about the report.
