West Point accused of DEI-driven cover up in mission statement change

Exclusive: The statement of the United States Military Academy’s mission exchanges from “duty, honor and country” to “the values ​​of the army”, which will be shot again – this time by a conservative judicial and governmental monitoring group that claims that the school that participates in the “cover -up” scheme when it changed the statement of its mission in 2024 as part of efforts to develop diversity, stocks and pressure (Di).

On March 11, 2024, the West Point Supervisor, Lieutenant General Stephen Giland, announced publicly that West Point will update her mission and include the term “army values” instead of “duty, honor, country”. However, Giland stressed that “duty, honor and country” will remain the West Point logo as it was in 1898.

Watch Watch judicially obtained by requesting the Freedom of Information law to search for all emails regarding the removal of “duty, honor and country” from the mission statement between West Point officials.

Among the documents, there is a judicial monitor obtained by a document from Giland separating the points of dialogue in a statement of the mission to the spokesperson for the founders ’day sent on March 23, 2024. The memo went to the speakers to” avoid saying “removal”, “replaced”, “deleted” – only indicates “the updated mission statement” and enhances that the remaining logo. ” ”

The memo does not explicitly link the change of the task with any DEI initiatives.

However, Watch judicial argues that the DEAD document obtained means that Dei was a factor in changing the task statement because the document also contains the common questions section that seems to reduce the role of Dei, as five to eight students claim each year who complete the diversity and comprehensive studies in West Point.

“These records separate the DEI agenda helped change the West Point important statement – and how they tried to drive under the Biden administration to cover up it,” President Tom Vuitton said in a statement on Thursday.

But in the memorandum that defines the points of talking about the mission statement, Giland urged speakers to return to the narration that changing the mission statement had been changed for political purposes.

The conversation points document said in a statement, “Emphasizing that the actual seven values ​​are because some in the public do not realize that the values ​​of the army is a specific term and a response to the social media novel in which the army’s values ​​change for political reasons. Avoid comparing DHC with AV – not either/or.

“Avoid the perception that the external audit team was political or made the decision. They chose the academy. They advised. The academy’s leadership made decisions,” the document said.

The term “army values” maintains “duty” and “honor” within the group of basic values, but it also includes the following: loyalty, respect, selfish service, integrity and personal courage.

Giland said in a statement announcing the change that the “country” is reflected in the term “loyalty”.

Giland said in a declaration on changing the mission statement: “It includes the values ​​of the due army and honor, and the country is reflected in loyalty, and it bears faith in the truth and loyalty to the constitution of the United States, the army, your unity and other soldiers.”

Giland also said that “duty, honor and country” is “a foundation for the culture of the United States Military Academy and will always be our slogan.”

The Fox News Digital spokesman directed the original Giland advertisement: “Our absolute focus on developing the leaders of the ready -made figure to lead our army soldiers in the increasingly deadly fighting arenas.”

West Point is one of the many American military academies that train students to become military officers.

Meanwhile, the West Point mission was changed nine times in the last century, and the words “duty, honor and country” did not reach the West Point important statement until 1998.

As of March 2024, the West Point mission statement is: “Building, educating, training, and inspiring the Student Corps to be the leaders of the person committed to the army’s values ​​and ready for the extent of life for the army and the nation.”

The previous task statement in West Point, which was first adopted in 2005: “to educate, train and inspire students of students so that every graduate is a leader to assign the character committed to the values ​​of duty, honor, country and preparing for the profession of professional excellence and service to the nation as an officer in the United States Army.”

At that time, the West Point Supervisor, General William Linux, requested a change in 2005, and the Chief of Staff at the time, General Peter Chorridker, agreed to change.

Meanwhile, the Republicans have prompted the “duty, honor and country” to explain the mission. For example, senator Ted Cruz, R-TEXAS, led legislation in January to add words to the mission of the Military Academy.

“For several centuries, the United States Army developed the global standard of military excellence because its leaders adopt lifelong from non -selfish service and embody the values ​​of“ duty, honor and country. ”Cruz said in a statement issued in January:“ The removal of West Point for these basic values ​​from a statement whose mission risks the erosion of the basis of the American military leadership. ”
