Mandate
Mandate Ch. 7 (Intelligence Community) — ODNI overview: future IC leadership must address widely promoted woke culture that has spread throughout federal government with identity politics and social justice advocacy replacing traditional American values as patriotism, colorblindness, and even workplace competence.
Undo plan
1) Retain EEO, anti-harassment, and diversity recruitment that expand cleared talent pipelines.
2) Ban political litmus tests in security clearances and promotions.
3) Focus culture reform on analytic integrity and tradecraft—not culture-war purges.
4) Protect employees’ private political views lawful under Hatch Act.
5) Verify: promotion criteria documents; EEO complaint and retention statistics.
