Virginia Military Institute Went Woke, Enrollment Fell 25%

“How have you benefited from adherence to your gender role?”

The Virginia Military Institute is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the presence of women at the nation’s oldest state military college with an appearance by Kimberly Dark: a fat rights activist and author of lesbian fanfic who wants to “reimagine masculinity”.

“Why couldn’t we see that America has been racist forever, sexist forever?” Dark ranted in a post titled, “For those who do not want a Trump presidency — this is what we will do now.”

Under Superintendent Cedric Wins, this is what the Virginia Military Institute has become.

“How have you benefited from adherence to your gender role?” a VMI diversity training presentation asks. The resources for it included journal articles like, “How Military Service Members Reinforce Hegemonic Masculinity.” There’s not meant to be any room for “hegemonic masculinity” at an institution whose students experience spartan living and the warrior tradition.

I'm sure the military attributes that to global warming, not wokeness.

VMI used to be such a storied institution in the Old Dominion.  No longer, apparently.

Enrollment dropped so now those new classes on makeup and hairdressing aren't crowded.
