Federal Judge Upholds Race-Based Admissions at Naval Academy, Concluding Diversity ‘Remains Critical’ for National Security
Story by David Zimmermann • 13h

Afederal judge has upheld the U.S. Naval Academy’s use of race in admissions practices, ruling that the school has “established a compelling national security interest” in championing diversity and inclusion within the military.

Friday’s decision deals a blow to Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA), the same group that challenged affirmative action at Harvard College and the University of North Carolina. That case resulted in the Supreme Court’s June 2023 decision, which banned race-based admissions at civilian universities. The question remained whether that ruling applied to military academies as well.
 
U.S. Senior District judge Richard Bennett of Maryland found that it did not, concluding that the “U.S. Naval Academy is distinct from a civilian university.”

“At bottom, the Court, considering all evidence before it, finds that the military’s interest in growing and maintaining a highly qualified and diverse officer corps is informed by history and learned experience, and that a highly qualified and diverse officer corps remains critical for military effectiveness and thus for national security,” Bennett wrote in the 179-page ruling.

The judge, obviously, is another one who believes the military is a "social justice" experiment in progress, not a defender of freedom.  He must also believe skin color is more important to the military than a person's intelligence, ability to learn, or leadership abilities.  He doesn't understand the military mission is different than training to be a manager at McDonalds.  The life and death of America are at stake, not making good french fries and hamburgers.
