A recent audit found that K-12 schools operated by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) are carrying hundreds of “Racial Justice in America” books that were written on the side by one of the DoD’s diversity officials, raising questions about conflicts of interest and self-dealing in the department.
On Thursday, the independent watchdog organization OpenTheBooks.com published a report on their recent audit of the Department of Defence Education Activity (DoDEA), the branch of the DoD that oversees education curriculums for the minor children of service members. The audit found that, as of January, 45 DoDEA schools were carrying 606 books written or co-produced by Kelisa Wing, who is DoDEA’s chief of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
