“USMA does an amazing job of bringing parts of Native American culture and heritage to West Point that we would most likely otherwise not experience – 2nd Lt. Margaret Neumeyer, USMA Class of 2023.”
USMA public release
What, precisely, are the parts of Native American culture and heritage brought to West Point?
Ok, feathers as a gift. What else?
Seriously, start a one to n list. (Crickets).
There are 14 battle streamers on the flag of the United States Army for Indian Wars from 1790 to 1891.
(Interestingly, the Seminole streamer is for the one Indian campaign which the U.S. Army didn’t win. The Seminoles are the only tribe that never surrendered to the U.S. Government.)
If the descendants of Indians who fought against the U.S. Army are honored, why aren’t the descendants of Southerners who fought against the U.S. Army honored as well?
Wasn’t the cultural cleansing of all things “Confederate” at West Point including the amazingly hypocritical desecration of the Reconciliation Plaza predicated on Southerners fighting the U.S. Army?
Would West Point welcome the Sons of Confederate Veterans or United Daughter’s of the Confederacy to exemplify “West Point’s commitment to diversity, cultural awareness, and bridging the gap between tradition and service?”
Would West Point “reflect” on Southern Heritage Month to “deepen our understanding of the unique and rich contributions and acknowledge the impact of historical events” of American Southerners? Like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Alvin York, Audie Murphy, George S. Patton, William Westmoreland, etc.?
At Woke West Point, inclusiveness means only some cultures are honored. At least one historic, foundational American “culture” is erased and prohibited – even though it has a lot of Cadets at USMA. DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Actually, it is DIE for division, indoctrination, and exclusion of opposition. DIE more than un-American. It is anti-American. It shouldn’t be at West Point.
