...with some glitches.

Hard to be believe that apparently some folks at an institution so close to Commander-in-chief's heart fell for fakenews media's fake narratives.
Granted there were few 2016 election season Steve Bannon era tactical gimmicks by MAGA campaign that accidentally may have energized some wrong kind of groups but that effect has been long washed out with post election social liberal initiatives on social justice,prison reform, minorities outreach, diversity is our strength/ GOYA foods promotion, DACA messaging by entire top leadership White House ( POTUS, FLOTUS, FDOTUS Ivanka/First Son-in-law Jared Kushner who are closely collborating with BLM/Civil Rights leaders).

Army Pulls Handout Listing 'MAGA' as a Sign of White Supremacist Sympathies

The Army has pulled a handout meant to promote meetings on diversity in the ranks that lists President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan as a possible indicator of covert white supremacist sympathies.
In a statement late Wednesday, the Army said that the flyer distributed to troops and contractors at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama was sent out in error, and an Article 15-6 fact-finding investigation had begun to determine how it happened.

Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Alabama, demanded that those responsible for distribution of the promotional material be investigated for prosecution under the Hatch Act, limiting the political activities of the military and the civil service.
"U.S. Army personnel have violated the Hatch Act and any number of military regulations by distributing materials that, among other offensive things, labels president Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again' slogan or 'Celebration of Columbus Day' as white supremacist," Brooks said in a lengthy release.
"The U.S. Army is not the place for political indoctrination or re-education experimentation," he said, adding that "heads should roll."
The material was meant to promote meetings at Redstone Arsenal as part of the Army's "Project Inclusion," an effort by Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and Army Chief of Staff Gen. Joseph McConville "to improve diversity, equity and inclusion across the force and build cohesive teams."
Project Inclusion involved listening sessions at bases worldwide for troops and civilians on issues such as racial disparities and the Army's move in August to remove photos from officers' promotion boards, according to the service.
The promotional material, sent in emails, included an illustration of a pyramid of phrases labeled "Things To Think About."
Under the heading as indicators of "Overt White Supremacy," the pyramid listed "swastikas," "hate crimes," "The N-word," "Burning Crosses" and "Racial Jokes."
The flyer then said "convert white supremacy" [sic] was suggested by "Make American Great Again;" "Eurocentric Curriculum;" "English-Only Initiatives;" "Bootstrap Theory;" "All Lives Matter;" and such sayings as, "Don't Blame Me. I Never Owned Slaves."

Perhaps they can learn from Trump's way of supporting diversity, better than above cited handouts method:

Gen. Charles Brown, commander of Pacific Air Forces and President Trump's nominee to be the next Air Force chief of staff, said in a video released Friday that he navigates "two worlds" as an African American and that he's "thinking about how I can make improvements" institutionally.

"As the commander of Pacific Air Forces, a senior leader in our Air Force, and an African American, many of you may be wondering what I'm thinking about the current events surrounding the tragic death of George Floyd," Brown said.
The general said he has been thinking about living in "two worlds, each with their own perspective and views."

"I'm thinking about how my nomination provides some hope, but also comes with a heavy burden. I can't fix centuries of racism in our country, nor can I fix decades of discrimination that may have impacted members of our Air Force," he said.
Brown said he is thinking about how he can make improvements both "personally, professionally, and institutionally," so that current and future airmen "appreciate the value of diversity."
