The U.S. Air Force Academy and West Point have both canceled their minors in Diversity and Inclusion Studies after President Donald Trump moved to eliminate DEI in the federal government.
Even as the year started, for instance, West Point still had its DEI studies program advertised on its website. Same with the Air Force Academy in Colorado. But now, both are gone.
Per Just the News:
When asked why the Air Force Academy ended its minor, deputy director of strategic communications Lt. Colonel Brian Maguire told The Center Square that “the Department of Defense will fully execute and implement all directives outlined in the Executive Orders issued by the President.”
The Air Force Academy is a part of the Department of Defense.
Maguire said that the Department of Defense will ensure that the directives “are carried out with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and in alignment with national security objectives.”
When reached for comment, West Point media relations told The Center Square that it did not have any information yet but would provide it when available.
It’s just another example of the winning we enjoying with Donald Trump in the White House.
The truth is, the U.S. Military should never have been offering these sham “studies.” The military is not for social engineering, It is for training soldiers to kill people and break stuff.
