Assistant Professor Graham Parsons got a long screed on the sanctimony of his virtue-signaling resignation from the faculty at the United States Military Academy published in the New York Times1.  His letter to the editor as a profile in academic courage indicates the need for a serious investigation at West Point.  Additionally, his other publications absolutely shout out for a Blue Ribbon panel to take a deep dive into what in the living, screaming Hell is happening at West Point and the other Service Academies.

The inquiry shouldn’t be about why Parsons left, but who hired him, who retained him, who approved what he taught, who else is teaching like him, and who is accountable to make sure a “Parsons” is never hired again?  And how can such drivel be kept from West Point and never be indoctrinated again?


A Commission should consider the following:

Immediately and in the future, no faculty member at West Point should associate ending DEI and CRT indoctrination with “West Point abandoned its core principles2.”

The responsible party is W. (Woke) Nonsense.

Context:

A longtime professor at West Point has stepped down in protest, saying the military academy is no longer committed to academic freedom or honest education.

Graham Parsons, who taught philosophy at the U.S. Military Academy for 13 years, announced his resignation in a blistering New York Times essay. He says West Point has caved to political pressure from the Trump administration, gutting its curriculum and silencing its faculty.

“I cannot tolerate these changes, which prevent me from doing my job responsibly,” Parsons wrote. “I am ashamed to be associated with the academy in its current form.”

According to Parsons, things started to change after an executive order from former President Donald Trump and a memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Those directives banned teaching what they called “un-American” ideas — including topics on gender, race, and critiques of the nation’s founding documents. ...

Of course, what he wants is the opposite of "honest education." It's dishonest propaganda.
The USMA of 50, 80, 150 years ago didn't teach the woke crap Parsons demands.
