A letter protesting mandatory vaccines penned by “Concerned Graduates of West Point” and “The Long Gray Line” referring to a  continuum of West Point graduates woke classes with CRT content, progressive activism, and sanitary conditions was sent to West Point Academies Superintendent and President, according to Epoch Times.

LTG Thomas McInerney, USAF; MG Paul Vallely, U.S. Army; and Colonel Andrew O’Meara Jr., U.S. Army were among the signers.

Vallely told The Epoch Times:

“We wanted to challenge the leadership of the Academy and the Defense Dept on their WOKE actions, CRT, Diversity training, and the other discrepancies in the Academy. We found it pervasive at the Naval and Air Force Academies, so we knew it was directed from the highest levels of our Military Leadership,” he went on. “We all want the Military to get back on track to training and leading our Armed Forces to secure America and its Citizens.”

The letter is titled “Declaration of Betrayal of West Point And the Long Gray Line.”

And is critical of the socialist instruction cadets are receiving “Civilian faculty members have introduced political indoctrination into academic instruction to include socialist ideology that runs counter to the noble principles of the Constitution.” The letter goes on to point out that most of the guest speakers are liberal.

The issue of vaccine mandates is called out as “troubling,” citing that cadets are asked to ” violate their religious beliefs contrary to the religious freedom long observed by the Academy” and that “Cadets have been coerced into complying with illegal orders – mandates – to submit to vaccinations with experimental drugs never approved by the FDA.”

A lack of moral foundation, leftist ideologues, and the Biden administration are all called out for violating the Constitution and for the deterioration of the Academy.

Three frustrated West Point Cadets went on the record, describing the same problems as the letter addressed. They spoke with Hannity about how they were treated for not agreeing with woke ideology or vaccine coercion. He asked, “is there a larger political agenda at play?”

The letter comes amidst growing concern over our military’s progressive training. Many are frustrated over the public funding of progressive ideology. Fox News host Laura Ingraham points out, “Everything that happens in the military is paid for by GOP votes on the Hill.”
