SAY GOODBYE TO DEI IN THE MILITARY.

RETURN TO MERITOCRACY!

DIVERSITY - NAVY STYLE
Merit Matters

“We the People are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” – Abraham Lincoln

Calvert Task Group

The Calvert Task Group’s mission is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, the Navy and Marine Corps and the United States Naval Academy. We affirm the Navy’s traditional values of honor, courage and commitment and that are now under threat.
We represent mostly Annapolis graduates, almost all of whom are current, former, or retired naval officers representing countless of years of Naval service. We reject the dangerous politicization of our armed forces. We believe our military must be a meritocracy and eliminate the influence of divisive ideologies and identity politics.

Navy & Academy issues of concern

We perceive a radical political element making serious attempts to change the focus of our Constitutional Republic, a national challenge without historical precedent. The insidious nature of this revisionist agenda is permeating our public school systems and shaping divisive cultural changes in our society, the Navy, and the U.S. Naval Academy.

We believe we can influence debate and effect change to the present course of the U.S. Naval Academy, the Navy, and our nation.

“Don’t give up the ship” is among the most famous of all Navy quotations and reflects the fact that our traditions are strong and have passed the test of time. 

We believe that there must be universal priorities at the United States Naval Academy, and it all begins with the mission.

We understand the deep meaning of “Don’t give up the ship” as it applies to everything we do.  It empowers our group to defend our ship of state as represented by the Constitution, our Navy, and the United States Naval Academy.

We understand that if we are not part of the solution, we are part of the problem. We are committed.

We are open to all Naval Academy graduates and also welcome others who agree with and are willing to support our cause.

"The Constitution abhors classifications based on race, not only because those classifications can harm favored races or are based on illegitimate motives, but also because every time the government places citizens on racial registers and makes race relevant to the provision of burdens or benefits, it demeans us all.

Purchased at the price of immeasurable human suffering, the equal protection principle reflects our nation’s understanding that such classifications ultimately have a destructive impact on the individual and our society."
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS

Excerpt from “The Boat School Boys”

FULFILLING THE MISSION.

The United States Naval Academy performs a unique service for the country that other institutions, like Georgetown and Stanford, never could nor should perform. USNA is in the business of forming from the raw material of society a group of leaders of men and women, a class of warriors, a cadre of men and women who are willing to sacrifice their treasure, bodies and very lives for the constitution and citizens of the United States of America. . . .
