West Point shuts down clubs centered on race and gender

The U.S. Military Academy is shutting down a dozen clubs centered on cadets’ race, ethnicity, and gender.

“In accordance with recent guidance, the U.S. Military Academy is reviewing programs and activities affiliated with our former office of Diversity and Inclusion,” the West Point communications office said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. “The clubs disbanded yesterday were sponsored by that office. More than one hundred clubs remain at the U.S. Military Academy, and our leadership will continue to provide opportunities for cadets to pursue their academic, military, and physical fitness interests while following Army policy, directives, and guidance.”
