Is West Point being lenient with the cheaters because they are athletes, because many of them are black, or both? Is West Point admitting black students and athletes who cannot pass calculus (the subject that they cheated on)?

Penn State kept a coach that looked the other way to child rape. Florida State had a QB hat (allegedly) raped a coed.

Sports are now a political corrosive element in society. Stop watching it abs stop paying for it.

“Under academy policy, cadets found guilty of cheating would not have been allowed to play on sports teams after Nov 30, the date they were found in violation of the code.

But in an Oct. 23 memo, Williams wrote that the policy “resulted in an inequitable application of consequences and developmental opportunities” for some cadets.”

Inequitable = Social Justice code word. The woke guy in charge is a commie lib. They all should have been thrown out of the academy, period. Wtf? No wonder our military leadership is so risk adverse. And pussies.

Would you hold my wallet while I take the test?

There’s a $1000 in there. Or maybe there isn’t. Know what I mean?

Yes, and yes. These cheaters have to be about the dumbest guys out there...or arrogant and stupid thinking they’d get away with it.

They get tutors for everything, and special classes dumbed down so that they can ‘pass’ through the system. They are feted like rock stars because Army is winning a few football games.They are not there to become Commissioned Officers...they are there to play sports and pursue their own goals, while checking the Diversity box the army is desperate fill.

Then there is this:

https://www.army.mil/article/234062/soldier_focuses_on_setting_example_for_future_female_combat_troops

This officer received a taxpayer funded degree from West Point, while playing Intercollegiate soccer. She was Commissioned in 2016.

Then:

“She had set her sights on applying to a combat career field. But an ankle surgery sidelined her after graduation, limiting her in any strenuous physical activity.”

“She recently served as the military aide to Maj. Gen. Scott Efflandt, a deputy commanding general of III Corps at Fort Hood, Texas.”

“Rozzi also competed with the U.S. Armed Forces Women’s Soccer team at the World Military Games in Wuhan, China, in October.”

So, in her 4 year career, she attended her Basic Officer Course (while injured I presume), but not injured enough to play on the Army soccer team, and serve as an ADC (which along with the WP ring will guarantee at least LTC for her). Likely, she checks another protected snowflake box or two as well.

What I’d like to know is: How long was she an actual Tank Platoon Leader? How were her own/Platoon Gunnery scores? From the article, she was a fit athlete, but from the photographs she does not appear capable of actually performing basic tank maintenance (breaking track, dropping the breech block, punching the gun tube, etc...) which means she would not really learn the job, and would be a liability to the other 3 crewmembers.

All of this in an article written by the army, trumpeting “progress”. Yeah...no. The Emperor has no clothes, and our military is in trouble.

"They remain on the team because West Point Superintendent Lt. Gen. Darryl Williams suspended the school’s policy of barring cadets who violate the academy’s honor code from representing the school in public."

It would be interesting to know how they got caught cheating. Why didn’t the reporter ask?

I can hear the progressive rumblings now:
- Blame it on the ChiCom Virus pandemic. The rigors of remote learning and having to take an on-line exam placed too great a strain on these future officers which then encouraged them to cheat. They might even be suffering PTSD (Post Test Stress Disorder).
- Blame it on the faculty. They did not know how to teach and test in a remote learning environment.
- Blame it on the Academy. As an institution it failed to recognize (and take corrective action) that some cadets suffer from developmental hardships. The resultant lack of early learning opportunities has a direct correlation to their ability to comprehend the importance of honor and integrity.

Because they are black. The Supe is black and read his quote about whynhe suspended HC punishments, right out of the Leftist playbook. He’s also an Obama general.

Translation: "The cheating policy doesn't matter, if you're black".

Every single one of the students should’ve been immediately suspended and then kicked out. Allowing them to stay for any reason, especially because they’re on the football team, it’s outrageous and stains the reputation of the school. Maybe the school should consider shutting down their football team for a few years or permanently. It is definitely not essential for the school mission.
