Navy's 'extremism' training says it's OK to advocate for BLM at work but not 'politically partisan' issues

Making military woke, one training session at the time



The US Navy's training on 'extremism' says staff can advocate for Black Lives Matter (BLM) while at work but service members are not allowed to discuss 'politically partisan issues', training slides reveal.

The Navy described BLM as a 'public policy issue' in the slides and advocating for the organisation was allowed as long as the behavior is lawful.

But they stated that advocacy would be prohibited if it was 'politically partisan in nature'.

In the 'scenarios for discussion' slides, obtained by Fox News, Navy personnel were asked if they think BLM is 'political stuff' that those in command are 'not supposed to be talking about at work'.

In response, the Navy stated that BLM is a 'public policy issue' and advocating for the global organization was allowed 'as long as the behavior is otherwise lawful and the advocacy is not politically partisan in nature'.

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby was asked on Monday whether talking about BLM at work is 'considered partisan' - to which he said he 'was not able to answer that question'.

He added that to answer why that is the case could 'go down a rabbit hole on a million different things'.

'What we're trying to get after here is the kind of ideology that inspires conduct and behavior - and it's not about one side or the other on the aisle', Kirby continued.

'It's not about what God you worship or choose not to worship. It's about ideology that inspires you or can inspire others to bring harm inside the force.

'And that's what we're trying to get after'.
