Ousted Space Force officer: Equity push potentially enabling illegal discrimination in US institutions

A lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Space Force who was ousted after warning about marxism and its pervasion of American culture emphasized the distinction between “equity and equality” in an appearance on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Thursday.

But, he continued, "It's important for the American people to understand the difference between equity and equality," Lohmeier explained. " One of them is good, and the ideal … we tend to confuse the equality of opportunity, which is an ideal part of philosophies, with equity. It's a new term, it's used wittingly, which essentially means enforced outcomes or enforced inequality." Lohmeier said he witnessed a troubling embrace of equity creeping into U.S. institutions, which manifests itself, he said, as "potentially illegally discriminatory policy. " "Equity is not good as it is defined, but it sounds good, that's why we use the word," he explained.
