Pentagon Schools Instruct Use of Minecraft to Promote DEI Trojan Horse

The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is using Minecraft to enhance social-emotional learning (SEL) among middle school students, focusing on skills like collaboration, communication, empathy, and problem-solving. The initiative has faced criticism for its connections to broader educational frameworks, including critical race theory (CRT). DoDEA serves over 67,000 military-connected students across 161 schools in various locations. The program has been rebranded as “resilience” initiatives, aligning with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's commitment to comply with executive orders prohibiting certain educational content related to DEI and CRT. Prior to these orders, Pentagon schools faced scrutiny for including controversial books in their libraries.
