Whites will be expelled for chewing gum, non-Whites will be able to do anything they want.

Though Black cadets made up about 6 percent of the student body, they represented about 43 percent of those expelled for honor code violations.

Hmmm Could it be...Satan?!?!

“why BOTHER to have a well-trained and qualified Military?”

Much less a moral and religious society backing them up.

A like button would have done the job.

Uh, maybe they violated the honor code disproportionately to their representation.

Then it’s no longer an honor system.

But no, the WP and the Left see only racism.

This is the logical fallacy called Causal Reductionism, that is, claiming one simple cause for an effect which could have been caused by a variety of other things.

Hi.

I could be wrong, but are all of the service/military school’s discipline and ethics going south at the same time?

Coasties included.

This is how U.S. surface warfare ships collide with merchant ships.

As long as the guidelines are enforced rigidly and precisely
the same no matter the color, I have no problem at all with
disproportionate numbers.

I do not favor lax enforcement to keep the numbers the same.

Cadets are expelled for BEHAVIOR, not for COLOR!

So why not publish the details of all the trials but withhold the identification? See if you can guess who got expelled and who didn’t. May be the people who were expelled deserved it.

“Equity”

Aka, Marxism.

My friend said that in the early 1950’s a cadet had to write “Certified” in the upper corner of anything turned in. It meant that the cadet was certifying that it was his/her work and only his/her work.

It isn’t the logical fallacy called Causal Reductionism when it is repeated constantly in similar situations. The term appears to be just another liberal/leftist/academic attempt at manipulation of reality.

Your guess is as good as mine. George Orwell hints that totalitarian regimes begin by preaching “true democracy”, and then seizing power as fast and ruthlessly as possible.

In other words, ‘I know what’s best for you, better than you do yourself.’ Many totalitarian regimes begin in such a way. ‘All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others’ is the crystallization of such an attitude, and the totalitarian nature of this approach is neatly embodied by the fact that this one slogan replaces the seven slogans derived from Old Major’s original idealistic vision for an equal society – a vision that has, by the end of the novella, been so thoroughly corrupted. Animal Farm is a hard read, but well worth the effort. Animal Farm was required reading 50 years ago but they took it off the list. I guess Heather has two mommys is more important to teach kids today. I am sure no one wants to be reminded how totalitarian governments get started.
