NZ Military Takes Down Winning Essay That Criticises Wokeism

NZ Military Takes Down Winning Essay That Criticises Wokeism The New Zealand (NZ) army has removed a winning essay from a defence force writing competition because it argues against ‘woke culture’ within the army. Originally published on an NZ army website on July 1 along with winners of other categories, the essay titled ‘Can the Army Afford to go Woke, Benign Social Progress or National Security Threat’ argues that the postmodern concepts of diversity and inclusion are “antithetical to the Army’s ethos and values.” The essay was removed five days later and replaced by a message from the Chief of Army Major General John Boswell saying he had asked for the essay to be taken down.

Army chief to meet with staff upset over anti-diversity essay

The chief of the army, Major General John Boswell, offered his “unreserved apology” for publishing the essay on Wednesday, saying the army did not endorse its contents. He had named it the winner because it was the better-written entry of two in that category, he said, but that decision was a mistake. “I will always listen to the opinions of others, particularly those of our soldiers. And I think it is important that we seek to understand where other views exist,” he wrote, in a post on the link where the article was removed. “In this particular case however, it has been made clear to me that publishing this essay was viewed as undermining both the inclusive culture we are seeking and the work that is being done across all ranks to effect this change – work that is incredibly important, not just to me but to our organisation.”
