As Is The Feeling,
So Is The Result.
John Hinderaker today remarked a recent F.I.R.E. rating of college campuses for free speech protection. Dartmouth, alma mater dear of three Power Line writers, stood among the bottom five. Hinderaker let the rating notice stand without comment.
I, on the other hand, commented as follows. Well, tried to. Past the word discern, my comment was deleted as spam. I tried changing some words that I thought might trigger the spam filter and, not succeeding, gave up trying. What remains is enough, apparently. My comment:
Dartmouth.
I cannot get to the full report without signing up, and I receive enough spam already. So, I wonder if F.I.R.E. polled West Point Cadets.
I am informed the English-Philosophy Dept. there is full Critical Race Theory, Cadets knowing if they disagree they will be skinned. Also, Corps of Cadets leader positions are now awarded not on order of merit but picked by Academy command primarily for gender and race. And they are picked during their Plebe year, then groomed, rather than at the close of their Cow year (college junior), as traditionally.
Retention for ROTC-commissioned officers far exceeds retention for USMA-commissioned officers. And the former tend to be even more partisan for Critical Race Theory than West Pointers. What this is doing already to The U.S. Army and our nation’s sovereign freedom is not difficult to discern.
In June of this year a group of 2018 and 2019 graduates, most having held high rank as Firsties in the Corps of Cadets, demanded of the Supe, Com, and Dean that the entire Academy be devoted to Critical Race Theory. Their letter is open source in PDF and on my website.
In response, the Supe called the Corps of Cadets, Faculty, and Staff in toto to Michie Stadium for Honorable Living Day, the start of Honorable Living Week, 2020, which is, effectively, a Maoist struggle session highlighting the code words and phrase diversity, inclusion, equity,. In other words, Critical Race Theory.
At the event, a panel of African-Americans, male and female, described racism in their personal experience, implying that West Point is racist to the core and everyone has to yada yada immediately. Later, their stories were fact-checked and found bogus or banal (e.g., father beaten by police had long rap sheet, was resisting arrest; having to clean rifle while someone else received a banana was racist).
Honorable Living Day/Week has a history now at West Point. It commenced in February 2019, during the superintendency of Darryl A. Williams, and in September 2019 included Senator Joni Ernst. West Point hires Jackson Katz to train West Point Cadets for honorable living and posture the West Point curriculum accordingly. Katz studied under Douglas Kellner. Whatever the specifics of Critical Race Theory’s lodging in West Point operations, Dean and Supe opened the academy’s internal doors to receive its poison.
The West Point Association Of Graduates approves (also here). So many Old Grads have no idea what is going on at West Point. Those working there welcome the mayhem or fear it.
F.I.R.E., Congress, and POTUS — and American media — might look into that.
Mark Tapscott: VANDERBILT COURSE PENALIZES STUDENTS WHO DON’T SEE CONSTITUTION AS RACIST.
I commented:
West Point has adopted the same attitude and curriculum, so far completely in the English-Philosophy Department, but effort is underway to force it on the entire academic end of the academy, at least.
Critical Race Theory is its official name. These are guys who swear an oath in public to defend and protect our Constitution. Declaring the Constitution white supremacy is a clever way to dismantle Americans’ ability to self-defend through their armed forces, whom their taxes support.
When Armed Forces personnel, especially West Point (!), lead the way, with their own dismantlement of military law and order (both also white supremacist, of course), what’s not next?

You call yourselves devotees, so I shall talk to you about the dharma of people who seek to acquire devotion. No one can become a devotee by naming themself so, nor by others calling them so. Devotion involves dedication, with nothing held back; not even a wisp of ego should remain. His command alone counts; His will prevails. Like a drunkard, the devotee has no sense of honour or decency, pride or conceit. The devotee is a drunkard (matta), a mad person (unmatta), unconcerned with all that is unrelated to the ideal. The devotee is deaf to the call of hunger and thirst, misses steps in logic, and calculates wrongly while dealing in the marketplace. Narada says that those full of the liquor of ignorance stumble after the shadows of the world, while those drunk with the nectar of wisdom never move away from the Highest, which they have discovered as themselves.
