I disagree. But he should follow through if one of those 5 students wrote those comments and expel them just as any other student would be expelled...
(Air Force Times) Lt. Gen Jay Silveria, the superintendent of the Air Force Academy, didn’t mince words when responding to an incident where racial slurs were written on a message board at the academy’s prep school. His message was simple: If you can’t respect others, “get out.” (U.S. Air Force Academy)
One of the five black Air Force Academy preparatory school cadet candidates who had racial slurs written on their dormitory message boards has admitted to writing the slurs, the academy said in a Tuesday statement.
The cadet candidate is no longer a student at the prep school, said Lt. Col. Allen Herritage, spokesman for the academy.
Racism has no place at the academy, in any shape or form, Herritage said. We will continue to create a climate of dignity and respect for all, encourage ideas that do so, and hold those who fail to uphold these standards accountable.
