What People Are Saying


Many Americans were pretty disappointed in West Point cadets "deconstructing patriotism", studying cross-dressing in the military, and wondering if their leaders 'get them'. They were also dismayed that West Point has a civilian sociology professor who co-chairs the academy's DEI Studies minor and wrote an academic paper on "Transgender Integration at West Point and Beyond" as well as the book, "Inclusion in the American Military: A Force for Diversity."


A few comments from the many, many on this post:


“West Point has gone from an institution of higher learning and military leadership training to a woke joke. Sad, and possibly deadly for those who have to serve under any future graduates in combat.”


“‘Deconstructing patriots’ from the very people who are supposed to be stalwart patriots to defend our nation.”


“DEFUND the US Military Academy until such a time as they see Patriotism as a asset, not a hindrance to a well maintained ready military. The rest detracts from the main objective of the Academy, to ready military LEADERS.”


“Oh how far my Alma Mater has fallen.”


“I had hoped my son might apply to West Point. This is the nail in the coffin of that idea. Diversity and Inclusion Studies? Really? At the United States Military Academy?”


“Sadly, nobody is putting a stop to this nonsense. I fear that we will have to lose soldiers before the military education system is repaired.”


“While recruitment is already way down, as these West Point cadets graduate, and bring their woke indoctrination with them to their various commands, you’ll see retention rates drop drastically, even more so than seen currently. A friend I served with, an O-6 (colonel), took an early retirement, despite outstanding Officer Evaluation Reviews resulting in early promotions, due to pervasive Army-wide wokeism.”
