West Point graduates sign letter challenging leadership of military academy
The former military officers worry that their alma mater has embraced "woke" teachings that will undermine the mission of the institution.

Several retired U.S. military officers signed a letter written by "Concerned Graduates of West Point and The Long Gray Line," which objects to mandatory vaccinations, CRT instruction, progressivism and other "woke" sentiments in the military academy.

"We wanted to challenge the leadership of the Academy and the Defense Dept on their WOKE actions, CRT, Diversity training and the other discrepancies in the Academy," retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, told the Epoch Times.

"We found it pervasive at the Naval and Air Force Academies so we knew it was directed from the highest levels of our Military Leadership. We all want the Military to get back on track to training and leading our Armed Forces to secure America and it's Citizens," he said.

The letter, titled, "Declaration of Betrayal of West Point And the Long Gray Line," requests from the academy information in a number of areas including a justification for the mandatory COVID-19 vaccination of cadets and an explanation for reaching so-called "Critical Race Theory" at West Point.

In addition to other information, the letter also demands to know why some civilian faculty members have been permitted to become involved with political activism, violating the "long-standing policy of the Academy and Army Regulations."

And it questions the institution's "exclusive reliance upon radical progressive guest speakers to address the Corps of Cadets."

"This practice results in prejudiced political activism on the part of the Staff and Faculty in violation of Army Regulation," reads the letter.

The signees, who include a number of military officers, say they have witnessed and been informed of a modern rejection of the principles of the military academy that could ultimately endanger the institution's core and original mission to "educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career or professional excellence and service to the Nation as an officer in the United States Army."

According to you and the momentous number of "several".

The red one or the blue one? From what I have read in your missives, you want the blue one destroyed.

The US is the only nation that has ever invaded your Northern neighbor.

It was just a wilderness back then with a British garrison launching attacks on the US. Long before it became the Canada of today.

Class dismissed.

Not at all, the US failed in its objectives.

As was most of what was to become the US.

You are dismissed from attempting to teach anyone anything.

Maybe we didn't want to be known to have anything to do with a country that clubs baby seals.

Perhaps you should do some research. The US had about 7 Million people at the time and the Canadian frontier may have had about 500,000 when the British were launching attacks from there.

It's sad. You came in as "the world's most educated individual" and it's always been about little barbs.

By ten minutes late in a driving snowstorm....

If Benedict Arnold had breached the gates ten minutes earlier, we would have 59 states today...

I'd like to know what became of the spring-breakers who ODd. They should have been kicked out and billed. I'd never believe that was their first rodeo.
