OMG....these Hoaxsters SHOULD be Prosecuted,,,,why aren’t they?
They are called “hoaxes”, but that is too mild a word. A hoax is a harmless prank. These deliberate actions were intended to smear an entire race and confirm that whites secretly live by some Jim Crow code. These heinous acts need to be taken far more seriously and referred to as something other than a hoax. They are intended to show a sickness in the white race that doesn’t exist when in reality, they reveal a much deeper pathology that exists within the black race. And according to your standards, Sir, who should no longer be welcome at that institution? I think it’s time for the racist aggressor to go.
Is that a rhetorical question? I think we all know the reason.
It was ONE hoaxster - and he was already in hot water for some other fool thing. There is only so much you expect to happen to a kid besides expulsion, and he “is no longer a student here.”Granted that his action constituted a slur on the student body and the institution itself. Maybe he can get a job working for Jesse Jackson . . .
Cadets are on probation while students at any of the service academies. This dismissal is for a character and moral integrity issue. Big leadership hit. The cadet is no only not going to be an Air Force officer, he is not going to be an officer in any branch of the services ever. And the incident probably cast a cloud over any attempt to enlist in the armed forces as well.
As for non-military government service, the dismissal will come up in any security background check.
With the passage of time and sustained superior job performance, the young man might transmute the incident into what it probably was, a sophomoric prank that went badly sideways when adult political activists, military and otherwise, saw a “teachable moment.”
