If President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth are committed to restoring America’s military into the fighting force our country deserves, they should make purging West Point of its corrupt high officials a top priority.
They’ve already made a terrific start. Since the 1960s, West Point has maintained shameful race-based admissions targets—rewarding cadets according to the color of their skin, not merit.
Hegseth just abolished that relic of Affirmative Action.
In another blow to the woke Left, he also repealed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives across all services, including offices that “promote radical ideologies related to systemic racism and gender fluidity.” That’s part of President Trump’s broader order prohibiting DEI discrimination within the Armed Forces on the basis of sex, race, color, or creed.
Both Trump and Hegseth agree that DEI, Critical Race Theory, and other divisive ideologies undermine our military’s warrior ethos, lethality, and force readiness. They’re absolutely correct.
But as a proud West Point graduate sickened by the Army’s avoidable decline, I ask: Who put those disruptive policies in place?
Superintendent LTG Steven Gilland and Dean of the Academic Board BG Shane Reeves must be held accountable for pushing DEI on a generation of cadets—and removed from their positions immediately.
Each man was appointed by far-left President Joe Biden, has demonstrated unthinkably poor judgment, and bears ultimate responsibility for embracing toxic policies.
