After a West Point philosophy professor announced his resignation on Thursday, defence minister Pete Hegseth vehemently addressed the club for changing its educational concepts to fit the “ideological taste of the Trump management.”
Graham Parsons, a professor of philosophy at West Point, announced in a New York Times op-ed on Thursday that he would be leaving after 13 years of teaching at the military club.
After 13 times on the faculty, Parsons declared,” I will be resigning from my permanent position at West Point after this quarter.” The doctor continued,” I cannot handle these alterations, which prevent me from doing my work properly. I feel bad for being associated with the faculty as it is today.
Hegseth tweeted,” You will not be missed Professor Parsons,” in response to the news that Simmons would be leaving his place at West Point.
Perkins alleged the Trump administration in his op-ed in the New York Times that had significantly altered the” key rules” of West Point.
Trump directs Bondi and Hegseth to think about using the military for private operations.
The United States Military Academy at West Point “abdicated its fundamental principles in a matter of time,” Parsons wrote. ” When a school that strove to provide cadets the broad-based, critical-minded, impartial knowledge they needed for careers as Army officers, it was immediately eliminating courses, changing syllabuses, and censoring arguments to align with the intellectual tastes of the Trump management,” said one spokesman.
In his op-ed, Perkins claimed that the Trump administration’s policies have” a major assault on the school’s education and the research conducted by faculty people.”
The West Point writer’s resignation and op-ed against changes at the military college come after President Donald Trump issued an executive order in January that forbade the Department of Defense and any other military education facilities from “promoting, advancing, or then inculcating” curriculum and theories that are “un-American, controversial, unfair, extreme, extremist, and irrational,” quite as “gender ideology”, “divisive concepts,” “race or sex stereotyping,” and”
In addition, Trump’s executive order ordered military installations to “teach that America and its founding documents remain the most powerful force for good in human history.”
