My take on this ... having already made clear his intent to apply to West Point, and completed Army basic training this past summer ... the liberal mindset that is so pervasive amongst educators is attempting to destroy this young mans career path. This is pathetic in the extreme.
Maybe they have someone else in mind for the appointment? Any of them have relatives, 'friends', etc. who want into West Point?
From their website:
Please submit information on a Lansingburgh High School graduate who deserves recognition for an outstanding academic achievement, career or life accomplishment, community or citizenship acknowledgement, fascinating endeavor, etc. We want to hear it all!
Looks like this young man is just what they are seeking!!!
