That is an article where a guy is certainly trying to sell a book that's alleging a generic far right conspiracy theory about "neo-marxism".

I doubt there's any evidence.

In a congressional hearing, Sen. Cotton cited several whistleblower reports he received regarding CRT in the military, such as:

“One Marine told us that military history training session was replaced with mandatory training on police brutality, white privilege, and systemic racism. [..] Another servicemember told us that their unit was required to read White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo which claims, and this is a quote, ‘white people raised in Western society are conditioned into a white supremacist world view,'” Cotton added. - https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2021/06/1...

The defense secretary being questioned did not deny these assertions. But the truly motivated will find ways to call this "not evidence" as well. Only 100% incontrovertible proof counts as evidence for assertions they don't like. The bar is, of course, much lower for things they'd like to believe.

None of that is "whites inherently evil", so we can file this under "debunked" until new evidence arrives.

Yes, unless that exact string appears, there is no basis for complaint, and no demonization is taking place.

"the military is demonizing its support base with training calling whites inherently evil" and "a middle manager had to read some books and one of them had a line that hurt his feelings" are substantially different.

White Fragility, which was required reading per that whistleblower, contains statements such as

Anti-blackness is foundational to our very identities… Whiteness has always been predicated on blackness [..] a positive white identity is an impossible goal. [..] strive to be less white.

I'm sure if this was any other race, you would likewise dismiss concerns as merely "hurt feelings". In fact, I encourage you to do so. Publicly and non-anonymously. Assuming you live in America, its pervasive white supremacy will support you, and you will suffer no adverse consequences.

But, like I said, you described a mountain, but your sources indicate a spec of sand.
