Left-wing Indoctrination at West Point
Link to Story


"The military academy at West Point has been requiring cadets to take classes and attend events that have a far-left bias on such issues as identity politics, according to Breitbart.

For the last three years, the academy has hosted an event called “Honorably Living Day.” As reported by the Military Times, “Honorably Living Day” includes lessons on “diversity, inclusion, and acceptance of people from different backgrounds, races, and genders.”

As part of the event, cadets were required to watch two documentaries produced by Jennifer Newsom, the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom. The documentaries include interviews with far-left figures such as Governor Newsom (D-Calif.), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.). The documentaries focused on “hypermasculinity” and “gender roles” associated with men.

Speaking anonymously to Breitbart, many West Point cadets expressed their disgust at the left-wing indoctrination, with one saying that he was “being taught how not to be a man.” Another cadet said that he intends to quit West Point, since “it’s no longer teaching me to be a leader of men,” but instead “teaching me how to be a victim.”

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Unbelievable. As Commander in Chief, Trump needs to put an immediate halt to this.

The corporate world is inundated with diversity and inclusion. Most major corporations are focused on D&I now so there’s not much difference. At least I don’t happen to know any right wing conservatives pushing D&I.

All levels of federal government and military (active, reserve, guard) spent 8 years transforming themselves under Obama's reign. It will take many years to drain that swamp, but unfortunately on the civilian side of the house it's damn near impossible to fire anyone so we're screwed.

Indeed. 8-years is a long time and #44 and team, had legions of private consulting companies, academics and think-tanks, eager to help draft and implement their social engineering plans across various industries. Celebrities and media helped grease the tracks so it all appeared to the unwise, that it was all normal, just and cool Roll Eyes.

For many issues, the military being a slow and cumbersome institution where change and inertia are so ingrained can be a good thing. In this case, its detrimental and the brass was compliant, both in its implantation and allowing it to continue.

This is nothing new at service academies. USAFA was doing crap like this in the early ‘90’s. The USAF, when I left, had not met a left-wing idea it didn’t like.

You will notice that winning an actual armed conflict isn’t something Americans care about anymore.

Just because you watch a documentary about something or someone does not mean you have to accept it,,,,

If I recall anything from when I was 18 and going to a Military College... I was about as far from being feminized and turning left wing as you can get.... torn between two goals.... getting tail and learning to jump out of helicopters and killing as many of the enemy as possible.

Not quite. First you have to sit down and share a latte with him/her/it.

Being forced to listen to Pelosi, Newsom & Booker would be the equivalent of waterboarding.
SERE training shouldn’t be this brutal.
