Before it was seemingly scrubbed, the minor included classes like ‘Topics in Gender History’ and ‘Social Inequality.’.
West Point was sued in November over its efforts to allegedly hide its DEI programs..
...
The United States Military Academy at West Point in New York appears to have ended its “Diversity and Inclusion Studies” minor.
“West Point has ended its ‘Diversity and Inclusion Studies’ minor,” wrote former Department of Education Press and current spokesperson from the Defense of Freedom Institute Angela Morabito in a Wednesday X post.
Morabito, a former fellow at Campus Reform, posted side-by-side pictures of the West Point website from Jan. 8 and Wednesday, showing that the DEI minor is no longer present on the academy’s “Majors and Minors” page.
“The web page for the minor program has been scrubbed, too,” she added.
...
Before it was removed, the page for the Diversity and Inclusion Studies Minor page stated that the program “exposes cadets to varied perspectives & methodologies for understanding and studying the humanities and social sciences.”
“The minor draws on courses in multiple departments and offers cadets a framework for critically and creatively thinking about the broader impact of diversity and inclusion at the individual, organizational, societal, and/or global levels – providing them with knowledge and insights that can help prepare them to lead in today’s Army,” the page advertised.
Courses falling under the minor included “Topics in Gender History,” “Race, Ethnicity, Nation,” “Politics–Race, Gender, Sexuality,” and “Social Inequality.”
In November, the organization Judicial Watch sued the Department of Defense in a case related to West Point’s changing the name of its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office to the “Office of Engagement and Retention.”
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said at the time that “[i]t seems games are afoot at West Point to disguise its radical DEI agenda.”
APPEARS? somebody needs to make sure!
Remember Spencer Rapone, the West Point Communist who flashed “Communism will win” and his Che Guevara pictures in uniform?

Same at USAFA. It was gone from their website last night.
I still feel the various academies should be offering courses tailored to the needs of the branch; military subjects, various forms of engineering etc. I do not think Arts or Humanities have a place at the military academies as majors or minors.
"No. I went to college just like you and majored in History. Imagine my surprise when I graduated and found out all the History factories were closed."
Hopefully, the same thing happens with DEI.
Who taught that major? Fire them and anybody who taught courses under that major. Obviously make sure all the courses - no matter what they changed their name to - have been cancelled as well. I would cancel any credits awarded in those subjects.
Fire him immediately.

You beat me to it. End this NOW.

Thank you!
I wouldn’t believe they had such a program during the Trump I era.
“Who taught that major? Fire them and anybody who taught courses under that major.”
This.
And fire the people who hired the professors who taught the courses.
Clean that mess out.

bank on that.
WINNING!!!!! The rot that Obama and Biden introduced into our country is treasonous.
Yes, it's Monty Python, circa 1969?
The academic standards at West Point have declined to a midling state college level. The Honor Code is in shambles.
The service academies are rotten to the core with wokeness, particularly the AF academy. Fire their leadership and put in war fighters who understand the concept of being in the military.
