Talk:Army Equal Opportunity Program

Untitled

"..repairing the coarse military approach to personal differences." In the first sentence, is coarse the word to use here?

In the beginning of the last sentence replace as with currently.

"As, the United States Army advocated for the expansion of spoken language other than English within its armed forces personnel in order to attain a strategic military advantage." take out "As"

"The proposal of the ideology that would eventually found the United States Army’s Equal Opportunity (EO) program was first introduced in 1973 via the Civil Service Commission." Make it more straight forward maybe, hard to follow.

Over all very well written, informational and unbiased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjones9 (talk • contribs) 23:19, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

I have not been able to find the source of the origin of the Army EO Program.. seems that it is just a series of programs designed to stop discrimination. There is no date associated with its creation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asturza (talk • contribs) 14:55, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

EEO vs EO

The title of this article is Army Equal Opportunity Program, yet it refers only to the Army Equal Employment Opportunity program. This is problematic as it insinuates that certain categories are protected classes in the Army when they are not for uniformed service members. The distinction must be made between these two programs, as EEO applies to Department of the Army Civilians whereas EO (The Army Equal Opportunity Program) applies to uniformed service members in the Active Army and Army Reserves (and, most likely, the National Guard, though I cannot say that for 100% certainty) The Army EO Program (as partially outlined in Army Regulation 600-20, available from the army publishing directorate online) only has 5 protected categories: Race, Color, Sex, Religion, and National Origin. The regulation that is linked here (Army Regulation 690-12) outlines the EEO program. I am not a big wikipedia editor, so I don't know what the process is exactly, but this article needs to be completely rewritten, or moved to Army Equal Employment Opportunity Program for accuracy, as it is also wildly misleading on who is protected by the Army. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.166.221.99 (talk) 16:37, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Concern

I don't know if anyone has looked at this page recently, but in the last two years, two separate IP addresses have spent extensive time editing and modifying the Army EO page to suggest that the army has always been predominantly white and male and more importantly that means there is a "ghost of a chance" at succeeding in getting people to understand the perspectives of other demographics. It goes as far as to suggest that integrating diversity jeopardizes the army. I can’t imagine these are sanctioned or objective edits.

Past edits have been reviewed twice, and some editors have reported being IP banned within hours.

This is concerning.
