Assistant Professor Graham Parsons got a long screed on the sanctimony of his virtue-signaling resignation from the faculty at the United States Military Academy published in the New York Times¹.  His letter to the editor as a profile in academic courage indicates the need for a serious investigation at West Point.  Additionally, his other publications absolutely shout out for a Blue Ribbon panel to take a deep dive into what in the living, screaming Hell is happening at West Point and the other Service Academies. 

The inquiry shouldn’t be about why Parsons left, but who hired him, who retained him, who approved what he taught, who else is teaching like him, and who is accountable to make sure a “Parsons” is never hired again?  And how can such drivel be kept from West Point and never be indoctrinated again?

A Commission should consider the following:

Immediately and in the future, no faculty member at West Point should associate ending DEI and CRT indoctrination with “West Point abandoned its core principles².”
