NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) — The Coast Guard Academy is disenrolling seven cadets for failing to comply with the military’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate, after their requests for religious exemptions were denied and they were ordered to leave campus.
The academy in New London, Connecticut, confirmed the disenrollments Tuesday, The Day newspaper reported. A lawyer for several of the cadets said they were told on Aug. 18 that they had to leave campus by 4 p.m. the next day.
“They were escorted to the gate like they were criminals or something,” the lawyer, Michael Rose, told the newspaper.
“No one helped them with travel arrangements or gave them any money,” said Rose, based in Summerville, South Carolina. “One had to get to California, one to Alaska. One’s estranged from home and living out of his truck, according to an email I received describing his situation.”
Rose said two of the seven cadets had no homes to return to.
The cadets’ names have not been released. Rose said academy officials were “particularly mean-spirited” and could have waited until pending lawsuits challenging the military’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement were concluded.
In one of those lawsuits, Rose is representing more than 30 plaintiffs, including military personnel and service academy cadets, in litigation pending in federal court in South Carolina. Several of the cadets are from the Coast Guard Academy.

More Marxist destruction of America.
(My comment): Sorry for Bill Gates the human eugenicists who wants to eliminate the elderly, and the government who wants to penalize the non-compliant.
Exposure to the milder Omicron variant provides better protection than the Pfizer/ Modern “vaccination” injection.
The Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccines neither cured nor prevents infection;
in fact, most recent information indicates you are more likely to have re-occurant covid bouts among the injected than those who never had partaken of the shot.
Go ahead, ask Brandon if it's true !
Conscientious objection to both experimental vaccines and NWO Wokeness. Besides, our farms will need protection.
In Latin, vacca = cow; vaccinus = from cows.
Culling the herd.
That should really help recruitment.
Ridiculous.
We need the republic restored first.
conservatives and PhDs are those most likely to avoid the clot shots.
these actions are meant to leave the services full of libs
As a 24 year retired coastie and former leadership and management instructor plus an Equal Opportunity Management Institute graduate and Military Civil Rights counselor I am appalled at the port side swing but totally understand that if you want to survive in this leftist government you gotta do what you gotta do. God bless the Woke Guard.
