Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has long decried “woke” ideology, backed “equality, diversity, and accessibility” in a 2013 paper at Harvard University, a new report reveals.
In his master’s thesis for the Kennedy School of Government, Hegseth proposed establishing a public high school focused on math and science in his home state of Minnesota, according to The Boston Globe. Hegseth reportedly argued that some students in Minnesota and nationwide were being left behind in STEM education, and that this new school could help address that crisis.
