The Pentagon announced it has launched a probe into one of its 'diversity' officers over the weekend, after it became aware of past posts disparaging white people on her social media.
The tweets by Kelisa Wing, an Army veteran and the current chief 'diversity, equity and inclusion' officer at the Department of Defense's Education Activity office, were first reported last week, and have since come under federal scrutiny.
Fox News resurfaced the old posts, which use well-worn slang terms to mock white people include 'Karen' and 'CAUdacity' - a play on the word Caucasian - and were reportedly set to private after the outlet reached out for comment.
The account, along with the longtime DOD staffer's LinkedIn profile, has since been deleted, now that the federal official's tweets, posted over the course of several years, have become a subject of national concern.
Perhaps most troubling, though, is the fact that Wing, who was promoted to head of the Education office during the pandemic, oversees the education of Pentagon staffers' children - including those of active duty service members.
