College officials at the public military college originally sought to charge him with behavior “unbecoming to a cadet,” a Class I offense that can lead to dismissal under the school’s disciplinary code.

The officials most likely would have booted him right out of school had this story not received media coverage.

“If I valued liberal ideology, I would go to UC Berkeley,” Pinelli wrote in the post.

That's all????????? WTF????????

[ClearCase_guy]

Telling the truth is conduct unbecoming to a cadet?

[eyeamok]

The Citadel is considering accepting a Muslim freshman

For this alone, these officials should be COURT MARTIALED!!~

[SatinDoll]

This Citadel policy is illogical. Muslims cannot swear allegiance to the United States; they are only able to serve Islam.

Following its punishment of Cadet Pinelli, one can expect within a few years The Citadel to adopt this politically-correct pattern of military behavior.

Here’s what I posted on the Citadel’s Facebook page:

“The citadel of WHAT? YOU PUNISH A CADET FOR TELLING THE TRUTH. South Carolina people have always been honorable and brave... South Carolina leaders have always been sell outs to whatever establishment is in power. Self-preservation v. Honor? http://www.postandcourier.com/.../citadel-cadet-punished...";

This sucks to high heaven.

Can't believe what has become of my Alma Mater.

It’s “gross poor judgement” to tell the truth?

The wearing of the hijab is not required by the Koran.

I would say that Col. Ashworth has, in that fine military descriptive, “Chickensh!tted out!”

Citadel cadet punished after leaking hijab story

What is the Schools' position on Nazi armbands? Is that okay too?

Cause we all want to know what version of FASCISM is currently being pushed by Academia and Government.

When I was at the Citadel a tour was an hour and marched 3 of them on Saturdays. After a raid on Furman an upstate football rival there were so many cadets awarded tours that we marched them off in platoon formation.

***the school was considering allowing an incoming cadet to wear a hijab in uniform. ***

Male or female student? Never can tell these days!

Not entirely on topic, but, for a perspective on what Muslims consider “good stories” about Muslims, see:

I graduated from The Citadel when it still had honor. Now, even with 7 battle flags on their school flag from the Civil War, they can no longer play Dixie. We played it after every touchdown. I will not contribute to a PC school. I suspect they will give in on this, also.

Oh, well . . .
