  1. #Minnesota raised #AntiWoke Warrior and former #FauxNews pundit #PeteHegseth has used his #DJT admin #DOD perch to preach his disdain for #Diversity and "dudes in dresses” but seemed to embody the opposite values when he wrote his masters thesis at #Harvard Kennedy School endorsing “Ensuring low-income and minority children have the same opportunities as more affluent majority students is an essential goal and worth pursuing with vigor and substantial investment".

    At that time in 2013, #Hegseth was working with a female Democratic state lawmaker in Minnesota on education issues, a decade before decrying the viability of females serving in the military.

    His proposal called for prioritizing a diverse student body and maintaining a balance of race, class, gender, and geography, using "geographic #quotas" for admissions.

    Hegseth wrote that closing racial achievement gaps was a "laudable goal" and promoted "#equality, diversity, and accessibility".

  2. CW: Racism

    "Racism denial involves obscuring the reality of racism or minimizing its significance. Racism denial is a political strategy. Its proponents know they benefit from racism and want to perpetuate it. They attempt to convince people racism is no longer an issue or is not a big enough one to require attention." - Phillipe Copeland
